Information from disease registries and other data repositories create opportunities for us to develop a more refined healthcare consumer matching process, analyze and predict trends, and even make predictive assumptions about an individual. As the world of health IT matures, so do the possibilities available to us to make meaningful improvements to health outcomes, more informed decision making, and to generate cost savings.
