Abstract :

In 2010 the Clinical Informatics Team at the University of California, Irvine began a five year journey utilizing the technologies that power Face Book, LinkedIn and Twitter. This presentation will take the audience from the first use case utilizing a simple NoSQL environment through the evolutionary process that led to a �??Big Data�?� ecosystem that ingests clinical, financial, medical device, patient self monitoring, social and geographic information system data to provide advanced analytics that serve the clinical, operations, financial and research needs of the organization. The session will focus on the lessons learned along the way.
