BIG Data Analytics

A G.R.E.A.T. analysis is:
  • Guided by a business problem
  • Relevant
  • Explainable 
  • Actionable
  • Timely
A GREAT analysis involves offering inferences and potential actions, not simply reporting statistics and facts.

FOCUSed Analytics

Pharmacists need to know how big data can be used to achieve a specific pharmaceutical care based outcome
In order to optimize that outcome the drivers of that outcome has to be understood. 
Does pharmacy big data even need to be analyzed by a pharmacist?

Pharmacist analysts

Who can be a pharmacist analyst?
Pharmacist Informaticist? 
  • Clinical Pharmacist?
  • Outpatient Pharmacist?
  • Administrative Pharmacist?

[The Pharmacy profession] Clinical practice owns answering the questions.
