While standardized electronic health records makes analyzing population outcomes easier, much of the health information in your possession isn’t in a standardized form.  Instead valuable information is often locked inside unstructured documents and text, like faxes and PDFs, which makes it impossible to analyze.

Not including this information in your data set means you’re not getting the full story.  It’s like leaving important pages out of a book.
