Data in healthcare these days can be quite fragmented. Cordoned off into silos, this mish-mash of information acts as a leash on an organization's financial performance that prevents an entity from confidently moving toward risk — something the industry increasingly values, especially as it moves from fee-for-service to value-based payment arrangements.

A pair of doctors can now make nearly perfect models of diseased organs that they use to practice the most delicate surgeries operating on living patients. Precise, state-of-the-art robotic surgery is now the favored method for many operations, but 144 people still died in these surgeries between 2000 and 2013. Simulations help doctors to practice controlling the movements and stages of robotic operations, but these on-screen exercises fall short of the pressures of a living organ in a live operating room.

There is little debate that healthcare is facing a potentially unprecedented nursing shortage. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employment Projections 2014-2024, the total number of job openings for nurses due to growth and replacements will be 1.09 million by 2024. One of the significant contributing factors to the future need for nurses is the impending retirement of baby boomers, who currently make up 40 percent of registered nurses in the United States. The loss of these nurses caring for patients will also see years of experience and expertise go by the wayside, leaving nursing with a significant knowledge gap.
