Abstract:

Global health care providers, health care networks, health care institutions, market researchers, as well as other public and private entities, could greatly benefit from universal demographic data standardization. The authors analyze data from data collection systems found in The United States, Israel, and Europe. Each data collection system varies enough to prohibit information and knowledge exchanges. One use of data is to gain local insights to adapt to changing trends, however, in a global market varying data sets and interpretations could hinder accurate decision-making.
