Discussion: Big Data Risks and RewardsA significant potential benefit of big data as part of clinical system is consistency of care. Big data facilitates consistency of care and personalized medicine by allowing quick, easy, and convenient access to patient information over their treatment programs. Access of medical history and findings of different doctors, nurses and other staff can help a nurse modify treatments for more positive outcomes. Treatment plans given in the past can be implemented if it achieved the desired outcomes or modified it the treatment plans did not achieve the desired outcome CITATION Hon18 \l 7177 (Hong, Luo, Wang, Lu, Lu, & Lu, 2018). Big data can help nurses to identify interventions that are suitable for high cost patients through examination of data to design interventions that facilitate precision medicine.The most significant challenge in the use of big data is lack of process and temporal information. This is because clinical data is generated and captured at different points and data is captured for with diverse intents. This means that the data captured cannot be integrated well in clinical practice CITATION Adi17 \l 7177 (Adibuzzaman, DeLaurentis, Hill, & Benneyworth, 2017). Temporal data and process information that is essential
