This volume targets crucial members of the teams who will be needed to unlock the potential of big data: health care and medical professionals, scientists, and their students. It engages and grounds its readers in the issues to be faced by showing how health care practitioners and organizations are linking data within and across their medical practice on scales that only now have become possible. ... I expect that readers will enjoy the nontechnical language and case study presentation by which challenges of big health care data are presented by the authors of the chapters to follow. ... an accessible, excellent foundation for further specialized study in health analytics and data management.

A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION
Do you believe everything you read in the newspaper?
Early in August 1937, a news flash came: a sea monster had been spotted lurking off the shore of Nantucket Island. Historically, the Massachusetts island had served as port for whaling ships. Eyewitnesses swore this wasn¿t a whale, but some new, fearsome creature. As eyewitness account piled up, newspaper stories of the sea monster spread quickly. Across the nation, people shivered in fear.
Then, footprints were found on a Nantucket beach. Photographs were sent to prominent biologists for their opinion. Discussion swirled about raising a hunting party.
On August 18, news spread across the island: the sea monster had been captured. Islanders ran to the beach and couldn¿t believe their eyes.
This nonfiction picture book is a perfect tool to discuss non-political fake news stories.
Back matter discusses the freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Quotes from Thomas Jefferson make it clear that fake news has always been one of the costs of a free press. A Timeline lists actual events in the order they occurred. A vocabulary list defines relevant words.
