Healthcare organisations face the difficult challenge of combining disparate data sets for analysis. Data in healthcare comes from a variety of sources and in different formats. It also varies by granularity and definitions may be inconsistent. Staff also deal with the difficulties of accessing data in the first place, navigating legacy systems, permission settings, and unclear data governance structures. It doesn’t have to be this way!
As demands for data continue to increase, the existing approach will fail to support the data-driven future of the healthcare system.
In this live demo, we will utilise the English Prescribing Dataset (EPD) to show Snowflake’s capabilities and the user experience for data owners and data users:
- See fast queries on billions of rows of data
- Hear examples for effective data processing and analysis
- Learn how to use Snowflake’s Data Cloud to provide access to data in your organisation
We will also share our recommendations for joining existing large data sets with other data; for example, deprivation indices or COVID-19 data. Combining these data sets allows for new insights, such as the impact of dosages for certain prescriptions on the mortality rate in specific regions.
