Quote
  "Everyone talks about Big Data, but I think the future will be about Big Insights. Data alone does not lead to action. We all suffer from information overload as it is. Instead, we need to digest all of the signals around us that inform our health decisions. Doctors can use this data to discover key personalized, teachable moments that can spark behavior change. So how should a modern doctor practice in the era of big data? Just like what we've always done: advocate for our patients, one patient at a time."
-Albert Chan, M.D., M.S., Chief Medical Information Officer, Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF), Medical Director, My Health Online for Sutter Health, Medical Director, PAMF's Druker Center for Health Systems Innovation.
