Abstract

The current increasing amount of digitalized medical data in health-care demands for solutions to store, share, mine, and analyze these data. Today, medical knowledge and evidence is based on outdated data. Tomorrow, we aim to have a rapid learning health medicine system in which evidence can be generated instantly, based on the most recent data available. The development of this system requires dedication and support of health-care providers, politicians, and patients on many levels. The aim of this system is improvement of health-care quality and support in clinical decision making. Full integration of data handling systems within the clinic and between institutes is inevitable in the near future.
