Healthcare has come a long way in the last few decades. So has technology. And so has the data available to researchers. Professor and researcher Ronda Hughes is bringing these pieces together to keep us healthy before and after we leave the hospital. By working with big data to build a more complete picture of what we know about specific patients, Hughes is giving clinicians and healthcare systems the tools to improve healthcare in ways never before possible. Ronda Hughes is an expert in health policy and health services research. Her areas of interest include: patient safety and quality improvement, big data research, healthcare administration, healthcare systems, and policy and program evaluation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format, but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
