The influence of Big Data in promoting quality patient care and efficient
clinicians and researchers in recent time. Thus, deriving value from Big Data requires
available data to enhance quality, safe and efficient care delivery. (Mehta, Pandit &
Shukla, 2019; Raghupathi, W & Raghupathi, V, 2014; Brossard, Minvielle & Sicotte,
2022, p.2).
Not so much have been realized with the evolution of Big Data and
Utilizing computer to analyze and implement data that are stored in electronic
health record systems (EHRs) and other related clinical decision support systems to
Hence, the purpose of this paper is to describe the pervasive impact of Big
development in technology.

Graves and Corcoran adopted the Data, Information and Knowledge (DIK)
inclusion of “wisdom” to the DIK model suggest a hierarchical format and the need to
address the inadequacies of the DIK model. Hence, the DIKW Model illustrates detail
relationships and interactions between the concepts of DIKW (Ronquillo et al., 2016).
In addition, the Nelson D-W Model describes data as raw fact; information as raw
and wisdom as the ability to apply knowledge/make appropriate decision to solve human
Consequently, the DIKW framework clearly describes the scope of practice for
such as electronic health records (EHR) that interface in clinical decision making to achieve
improved health outcomes. Thus, the combination of the DIKW Model, concepts and
The era of Big Data is greeted with the emergence of information technology systems
that could support decision making and improve outcomes in nursing practice. Therefore,
evidence-based practice in clinical decision support has been made possible through Big
Data, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science.

For example, synthesizing data stored in electronic health records can create a pool of
digitized clinical data useful for clinical decision making when deciding the best treatment
options for patients displaying genetic disorder. Sutton, et al., (2020) assert that decision
support systems are being developed to leverage on data to provide solutions that are
unobtainable and uninterpretable by human. (p.1). This implies that the nurse informaticist
can utilize decision support systems such as the Artificial Intelligence models to derive far
reaching benefits from Big Data to improve patients’ outcomes and the nursing practice.
and preventive actions or interventions the various AI systems have leverage on big data to
facilitate efficient patient satisfaction; effective resource allocation, cost reduction and patient
safety; respect for patient centered care/needs; equal access to quality care, and the
CDSs are useful tools for facilitating evidence-based practices and quality
systems can be used to optimize drug-drug interactions checking practices and allows
for expanding drug safety checking practices without adding more staff pharmacists.

support users in achieving quality care. For example, tools constructed within the
EHR can trigger alerts and encourage the health care team to do the right thing at the
right time with correct interventions within the clinical workflow. (McBride, S., &

Tietze, M. 2019, Chap. 19). CDS systems are to be designed to support users in
feedback systems to assess and prevent possible errors that will improve patient safety

the same time and physicians’ frequent exposure to inappropriate alerts during
workflow.
