Big data programs are helping the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services protect hundreds of millions of dollars from fraud, according to the White House. The Obama Administration says it’s trying to introduce more big data programs to help other agencies save money, but privacy concerns and other roadblocks might slow progress down.

He talked about how big data initiatives will help agencies save money and the challenges agencies may have implementing them.
