Improving healthcare in the 21st century will depend on how well vast amounts of data are mined. However, converting data contained in multiple hospital and clinical databases into information that can be used for clinical decision support is a complex task. The process involves a combination of cultural and technological steps that are time-consuming and resource-intensive. The authors describe one hospital's long journey toward becoming a data-driven organization.
