Abstract
The current increasing amount of digitalized medical data in healthcare 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 Today, medical knowledge and evidence is based on outdated data.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 healthcare (RLHC) 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 healthcare providers, politicians, and patients on many levels. The aims of this system are improvement of healthcare 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.
