Could Big Data be the Future of Pharmacy?

Janna Lawrence of The Pharmaceutical Journal recently published an interesting article that highlights the importance of Big Data and how it can aid in prescription adherence. Express Scripts has collected over 22 petabytes of data from 83 million patients.

Lawrence writes, "The data include medical and pharmacy claims from Express Scripts patients, clinical and behavioural characteristics, and even tweets directed to the company. In fact, within three milliseconds of a patient picking up a prescription from a pharmacy, Express Scripts has logged the  event."
