According to the University of Cincinnati and its online masters in health informatics department, the advancements are shaping a better future for the healthcare industry. The use of big data and the implementation of cloud-based health IT systems, for example, are enabling doctors and researchers to do better research and work together in finding solutions to health problems. The whole medical system is more robust and efficient thanks to good IT practices.
