Healthcare Data Analytics Symposium

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED

Healthcare Data Analytics – What You Need to Know about This Burgeoning New Field!

The healthcare analytics market, already at almost $4 billion annually, is expected to grow to nearly $11 billion per year by 2017. In addition, the application of emerging Big data tools and analytics could help U.S. citizens save as much as$450 billion in healthcare costs, but fundamental change is necessary to meeting such goals, according to a new analysis published this month by consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Healthcare organizations around the globe are gathering information and crunching numbers to determine by careful analysis the key statistical data that will drive improvements in operational performance, quality of care, and cost management. More and more healthcare providers and payers are engaging in complex predictive analytics in the attempt to understand an extremely wide range of patient data – everything from indicators for relapse and readmission to factors indicating increased medicine consumption, and more. Forward-thinking organizations are setting up the infrastructure needed to collect, process, integrate, and mine these nuggets of hidden data within the increasing large troves of stored patient information.

This outstanding symposium brings together the key senior executives from hospital and physician settings, government, and industry to examine the state of healthcare analytics and the future opportunities and challenges to be faced.

What are DHHS, CMMS, Tricare, and VA needs and plans in healthcare analytics?

What challenges do hospitals and physician practices face? How can analytics be scaled up or down depending upon the size of the practice or hospital setting?

Can analytics pave the way for real-time, predictive operations management?

What are the opportunities for analytics-based enhanced clinical decision support? Comprehensive population health management?

What role will “big data” analytics play?

How do you select appropriate missions and applications for health analytics? Big Data?

How do you build use cases and justify ROI?

These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event!
