Challenge
Rapid data growth
Technology is now an integral part of
delivering eicient healthcare services,
but the backlash of this is that hospitals
face an explosion in the amount of data
they need to manage. This is a huge and
ever increasing challenge for Rotterdam’s
Erasmus Medical Center (MC), which has
generated the same amount of data in the
last two years that it had generated in the
previous 35 years.
Erasmus MC is the city’s university hospital
and is the largest and most versatile of
the eight university medical centres in
the Netherlands. Employing 14,000 sta,
including 1,300 physicians and 3,000
nurses, it operates from various locations in
Rotterdam, including the Sophia Children’s
Hospital and the Daniel den Hoed Cancer
Institute. With almost 1,100 beds, its main
objectives are patient care, research and
education and it ranks as the top European
institution in clinical medicine.
