The future of health information. New sources of patient data (in blue) are beginning to be merged with traditional healthcare data sources (in yellow) to better inform clinicians’ diagnosis, treatment and care decisions. The health care of the future can build on this model by incorporating additional existing data sources (in gray) to create an electronic healthcare predictive analytics systems (E‐HPA) that could theoretically use data from any source to clean and analyze, run and/or update predictive models, and output risk estimates back into the health information system to trigger or monitor specific clinical and/or operational activity.
