At Inspiremed we understand the frustration of trying to manipulate big data. The monthly data sets released by the NHS contain over 10 million rows of information – for just one month’s activity.
The weight of big data
NHS digital warns, “Note that it may take at least 20 to 30 minutes to load one monthly file.” (https://digital.nhs.uk/catalogue/PUB30182)
That’s a serious amount of data – and in today’s workplace, it equates to a serious amount of time. Yes, it includes ‘all medicines, dressings and appliances that are prescribed by all practices in England and dispensed in the community each month.’
However, it also requires an advanced level of programming skill even to begin extracting anything meaningful from such vast swathes of information.
What other analysis options are there?
There are add-ons to existing software, such as the Microsoft PowerPivot add-on for Excel, but with a half hour wait – isn’t there something better you could be doing with your time when faced with a complex data set?
It’s worth noting at this point that InspireMed does not sell big data. That’s not what we do. We can supply the NHS/IMS data your BI team wants to use, but our function is to help them to transform unwieldy big data into something they can use that is:
- Accurate
- Will map the data in a valuable and useful way
- Will drive your business decision-making
