Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), an academic health care institution affiliated with Harvard University, has been an early adopter of electronic applications since the 1970s. Various departments of the medical center and the physician practice groups affiliated with it have implemented electronic health records, filmless imaging, and networked medical devices to such an extent that data storage at BIDMC now amounts to three petabytes and continues to grow at a rate of 25 percent a year. Initially, the greatest technical challenge was the cost and complexity of data storage. However, today the major focus is on transforming raw data into information, knowledge, and wisdom. This article discusses the data growth, increasing importance of analytics, and changing user requirements that have shaped the management of big data at BIDMC.
贝斯以色列女执事医疗中心（BIDMC）是一家隶属于哈佛大学的学术性医疗保健机构，自20世纪70年代以来就一直是电子应用的早期采用者。该医疗中心的各个部门以及与之相关的医师执业团体已经实施了电子健康记录、无胶片成像和联网医疗设备，以至于BIDMC目前的数据存储量达到了3拍字节，并且还在以每年25%的速度持续增长。最初，最大的技术挑战是数据存储的成本和复杂性。然而，如今主要的重点是将原始数据转化为信息、知识和智慧。本文讨论了数据增长、分析的重要性日益增加以及不断变化的用户需求，这些因素塑造了BIDMC的大数据管理。
