Where this comes from

Abstract

We are at a crossroads in terms of the data we collect and how they are analyzed. In health care, big data analytics may uncover associations, patterns, and trends with the potential to advance patient care and lower costs. To adapt to this approach, urologists will have to ask the right questions.
