57 Big Data Mining and HAI s Using the baseline of EMR data, the system implemented three different plans for reducing infections, eventually finding a solution that could reduce those infections generally affecting one in 20 hospital patients by 40 percent. "It would have taken one hospital 64 years" to achieve that result, Perlin said. But for a system of HCA's size with access to hundreds of hospitals' data, it took 43 hospitals in 18 months.
