The article is about how President Obama reassured his supporters about his ambition and his plan of the healthcare reform. The most important information in the article is the President’s answer to his critics as to why some companies had cancelled individual policies after the President had promised that “American could keep their current coverage under his insurance program” was because these plans did not meet the minimum coverage standards set by the Affordable Care Act. For my independent research, this information will be valuable when I research on how the consultants and the companies design the healthcare plans by figuring out what they value high and what policies they will take into consideration.

This news report is mainly about the protest led by grass-root disability rights group to support the current healthcare reform. The most important information in the article is that the protesters think the current Affordable Care Act at least “allow members of the disabled community to be cared for in their homes, rather than in institutions.” This may be helpful in my research paper by showing how people with disabilities think of the Affordable Care Act and the healthcare plans and what they value most highly.

This article is an historical news report from 1993. It’s mainly about the doctors’ attitudes towards people with disabilities at that time, after the ADA came into effect. It’s valuable for my research since I could look back to the history and examine whether the gap in health care for disabled people is narrowed by making a comparison between the doctors’ attitudes in the current period of time with that of that time. And maybe I could implicitly get some idea of whether the healthcare plans carried out through the time had improved the overall situation of people with disabilities.

The report is about how the managers of large healthcare and consulting firms are deciding to integrate data from medical devices into electronic health records in order to help doctors treat patients more efficiently. For my research paper, this source is so powerful that it gets me to an astounding idea, the big data, I’ve never thought of before as the relations of consulting and healthcare. Since the gloal data is really a buzzword now and is experiencing extremely rapid development. And with the establishment of electronic health records and visualization of data,it will to a large extent help the medical care reform.

This is the report from the world’s leading consulting firm McKinsey & Company about the integration of big data technology and the health care reform. The most valuable information I get in the article is that with the help of big data technology and electronic records, physicians are able to move towards to evidence-based medicine instead of making decisions based on their personal judgments. To my research project, this article really gives me a great idea of how the consultants’ work could help people with disabilities and improve their medical care conditions.

The article is from the personal view of a manager who has worked as a consultant for decades. He suggested that we are now entering a “horizontal golden age” for big data technology. Since the technology provides some early opportunities for tech services firms to gain industry specialist expertise. Big Data is a Big Equalizer. One interesting point that he mentioned in his article is that the technology has already entered and has a great potential in the healthcare industry. So to my research project, this just gives me some principle idea of why big data technology is so important and how it could influence the world.
