Abstract EN
Big data analytics (BDA) is important to reduce healthcare costs.
However, there are many challenges of data aggregation, maintenance, integration, translation, analysis, and security/privacy.
The study objective to establish an interactive BDA platform with simulated patient data using open-source software technologies was achieved by construction of a platform framework with Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) using HBase (key-value NoSQL database).
Distributed data structures were generated from benchmarked hospital-specific metadata of nine billion patient records.
At optimized iteration, HDFS ingestion of HFiles to HBase store files revealed sustained availability over hundreds of iterations; however, to complete MapReduce to HBase required a week (for 10 TB) and a month for three billion (30 TB) indexed patient records, respectively.
Found inconsistencies of MapReduce limited the capacity to generate and replicate data efficiently.
Apache Spark and Drill showed high performance with high usability for technical support but poor usability for clinical services.
Hospital system based on patient-centric data was challenging in using HBase, whereby not all data profiles were fully integrated with the complex patient-to-hospital relationships.
However, we recommend using HBase to achieve secured patient data while querying entire hospital volumes in a simplified clinical event model across clinical services.
