Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the concepts and evolution of big data analytics applied to health services, considering activities that involve the diagnosis, treatment, and management of the patient. The literature review, consulting the databases Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science and employing the keywords health analytics and big data analytics with no time restrictions, found papers that approach, specifically, the use of big data analytics in the context of healthcare, represented by examples and related analyses. Time and decision-making appear as actions developed by both the information technology team and the clinical team, may consider variables such as cost, time, decision, and functional structure performance as the main determining factors aligned with corporate strategy. This work expects to foster research on aspects of public health, in addition to considering the concern with the survival of affected people.
