However, this approach requires collaboration of all relevant stakeholders. They must create the technological infrastructure to house the large quantity of data (Pastorino, et al., 2019). Despite the many advantages of big data in healthcare industry, this technological advancement can be used if healthcare professionals address the security and privacy issues.
One of the benefits of big data is reduction as part of a clinical system is the prevention of medical errors that lead to more accurate diagnoses and treatment.

Studies show that physicians and professionals are bound to make some clinical errors like prescribing wrong medicine prescribing a different medication during medical practices that tend to put the lives of the patients on line (Pastorino, et al., 2019).
