[How to improve guidelines with big data]

Guidelines are the foundation on which we base our medical actions. However, working with guidelines has its limitations if there is no consistent program of evaluation research to support guidelines. To guarantee good quality of care, it is important to perform a correct cycle of quality. In practice, this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, as a result of which the validation and evaluation of guidelines is often insufficient. The emergence of new techniques will make it possible to automate these processes. To deviate from the guideline can be better considered. This requires integration of guidelines, electronic health records and new techniques. It requires cooperation at regional and national level, between healthcare providers, data and ICT specialists and politicians.
