Where does all that hospital data actually come from—and what do they do with it?
Everyone says hospitals are drowning in data. But concretely—what are the sources, and how is that data actually used to improve care?

Sources are everywhere: Electronic Health Records (EHRs) (notes, labs, meds), medical imaging (MRIs, CTs), wearable monitors (heart rates, glucose), and administrative systems (billing, staffing). Use cases are expanding: clinical decision support (alerts when a patient is crashing), operational efficiency (predicting bed demand), precision medicine (tailoring treatments to genetics), and population health (tracking disease outbreaks). The challenge isn't collecting data it's integrating it and analyzing it fast enough to act. Raw data is just noise. Insight is signal.
