Abstract:
Big data is the new gold in today’s VUCA world. VUCA is a systems-derived acronym used to refer to a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous system. Taking a holistic approach in studying and examining big data can yield new insights that can benefit healthcare practitioners and decision-makers in a VUCA system. This study explores advancing the method to collect and process Electronic Medical Records (EMR), to expand the interest in the use of big data in health care. The objective of this study was to determine whether the EMR record in LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) in India can contribute to the management of patient care, through studying how climatic and socio-demographic factors relate to eye disorders and visual impairment in the State of Telangana, using data merging as the main technique to study the data. Our findings highlighted the presence of cataract in rural areas and throughout the different weather seasons. Men tend to be the most, while home makers make the most visit to the hospital.
