Abstract

A systematic literature review of papers on big data in healthcare published between 2010 and 2015 was conducted. This paper reviews the definition, process, and use of big data in healthcare management. Unstructured data are growing very faster than semi-structured and structured data. 90 percentages of the big data are in a form of unstructured data, major steps of big data management in healthcare industry are data acquisition, storage of data, managing the data, analysis on data and data visualization. Recent researches targets on big data visualization tools. In this paper the authors analysed the effective tools used for visualization of big data and suggesting new visualization tools to manage the big data in healthcare industry. This article will be helpful to understand the processes and use of big data in healthcare management.
