Healthcare leaders must understand and convey the importance of data$-$driven decision making to external and internal stakeholders. As mentioned in the resources for this week, the need for business analysts $($data scientists$)$ continues to grow both in management and in healthcare delivery.

For this Discussion, review the resources for this week, and reflect on a healthcare leader's roles in supporting data$-$driven decision making as well as potential challenges and ethical concerns that might exist.

Post your vision of a healthcare leader's roles in supporting data$-$driven decision making. Explain some of the challenges and ethical concerns that you believe might exist in the use of big data for decision making. Be specific and provide examples.
