Comparative health services research across populations: the unused opportunities in big data.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
Large population registries present opportunities to understand the epidemiology of disease, study patters of care, and compare the effectiveness of different care practices.

We discuss how researchers might adapt their studies existing literature to generate additional insights.
