Article 1
Raghupathi, W., & Raghupathi, V. (2014). Big data analytics in healthcare: promise and
potential. Health information science and systems, 2(1), 3.
The authors in this journal stated that the emergence of Big Data in regular day to day
usage has been increasing. Major reason behind the processing of Big Data in the course of
regular usage is that this platform uses the technology that enhances connectivity. Out of all the
sectors that has been implementing Big Data, Health care system has been benefitted the most.
This journal elaborates the reasons that has affected the entire architecture of the health care
system. This journal also identified advanced patient care with the help of Electronic Health
Record. This journal states that with implementation of Big Data in Health Care the data that are
generated during the completion of complex medication gets stored and the same data is treated
as the reference for further completion of similar kind of medication. This journal also helps in
understanding the increasing rate of efficiency due to the presence of reference in the course of
decision making for mitigation of major medication issues. Major problem with the article is that
the authors did not cite the data that has been collected by them after performing rigorous
research from authorized and scholarly articles.

improved operational efficiency is one of the major reason that has caused the implementation of
Big Data in regular life. The authors stated that the data processing with the help of Big Data has
been acting as one of the major reason for completion of the projects with highest efficiency..
This journals is very well formatted and the sequence of data storage is also very efficient. This
leads to the fact that the researchers find it easy to surf the journal as the preciseness of the
journals is very high.

This journal is one of the most important journal that must be reviewed in order to gain
an in depth knowledge regarding the implementation of Big Data in the field of Health care
system. This journal precisely discusses all the benefits that the health care system enjoys. This
journal is focused with the implementation of the Big Data in the field of Health Care system
only. This leads to the fact that the data that are provided in this journal is to the point and
precise in nature. This increases the efficiency of the research process, leading to the fact that the
data that are required can be accessed easily. This journal provides a descriptive analysis of the
advantages that are present as well unlike the other journals that are present in other journals.

BIG DATA IN HEALTH CARE
This journals basically deals with the advancement that is procured in the technological
aspect of the Big Data platform. This journal is not much precise in nature and the data that are
present in the journal is mainly focused on the implementation of Big Data in day to day life. A
certain portion of the journal discusses about the implementation of Big Data in health care
department. Completion This is the main reason that this journal is not treated as the ideal
journal for performing research on Big Data implementation in Health Care system, but is
considered to be ideal for gaining in depth knowledge regarding the implementation of Big data
in regular life. This journal is very well formatted and the compactness of the journal is very
high. This journal is very informative in nature and the researchers finds it easy for gaining
conceptual based knowledge regarding Big Data

cardiovascular care: promise and challenges. Nature Reviews Cardiology, 13(6), 350.
This journal is completely focused on the implementation of Big Data in the field of
Health care system. The major section that gets affected due to the implementation of Big Data is
health care system. In case the health care system is processed with the help of the Big Data
analytics, the major benefit it will enjoy is that the processing of the data that are already
generated will incur the fact that the data management is performed with utmost efficiency. This
is the main reason that the there is an advancement in the health care technology. The resource
that are generated in order to complete the operations re stored in the data base. This helps in
performing of the operation in a much better and proficient way. This journal is not very well
formatted and the in texting of the data is not accurate. This is the major reason that this journal
is not a very efficient and this journal is not considered as a good journal

This journal is completely based on the projection of data processing in Big Data and this
is the sole reason that this book finds much interest when the topic of Big Data in health care
arises. This journal has defined the required terminologies with high definitive skills and tis leads
to be fact that he research team finds it is easy to get the concept of the implementation of Big
Data in the sector of Health Care. This journal provides both the negative and positive aspect of
the data management system with the help of big data in health care system. This is the sole
reason that this journal has found its identity among the researchers that are performing research
on the terminologies of Big data implementation on Health Care.

defined in the processing of data management in the curse of technicality and this is the reason
that this journal does not provide a precise and distinctive data management. This is also one of
the main reason that this journal is not referred by several other researchers for completing their
research and this also proves the fact that the researchers always want distinctive and precise
literature for conducting their research

This journal basically deals with the advantages of Big data. This journal also states that
the data of the patients are also stored with the help of implementation of Big Data in the course
of completion of the project. This collection data will be acting as the major advantage for
providing proper treatment to the patients. This journal also states the disadvantages that are
resent in the course 0f implementing the Big Data in the health care system. This journal
identifies that the privacy of patients will be at stake in case the data that is stored in the data
base gets accessed by the imposters, leading to the fact that the imposters can perform
misleading as with the help of the data that are present in the data base.
