Large-scale data analysis will transform the way physicians diagnose, treat and prevent disease. In this interview from AAO 2015, Dr. Anne Coleman discusses the role of Big Data in evaluating quality of care in ophthalmology, highlighting opportunities for studying quality improvement using data available from the Academy’s Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) Registry. She shows how data collected in the IRIS Registry is already providing insight into rare events such as endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. Dr. Coleman’s LXXII Edward Jackson Memorial Lecture on Big Data and medicine was published in the December issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology.
