8:45 am - 8:50 am LIVE POLLS

Today, approximately 30% of the world’s data volume is being generated by the healthcare industry. In 2025, the compound annual growth rate of data for healthcare will reach 36%. That’s 6% faster than manufacturing, 10% faster than financial services, and 11% faster than media & entertainment. As healthcare organizations expand, CDOs are confronted with a critical question: How should the data and analytics department be organized? Should it adopt a decentralized approach with independent regional teams, centralize operations at the headquarters, or opt for a federated model combining central and regional teams?

  • Discuss the benefits and pitfalls of each approach, to determine the changes you might want to make to your own enterprise’s data governance strategy
  • Consider how different models behave with regards to streamlining processes, ensuring compliance, addressing coordination challenges, potential conflicts and the risk of duplication

9:35 am - 10:05 am OPENING PLENARY PRESENTATION: DATA MANAGEMENT FOR IDENTITY ACCURACY - RESOLVING THE LEGACY EMPI’S MISMATCHING CONUNDRUM

Is your enterprise looking to implement digital engagement programs, allowing network members to access comprehensive medical records across hospitals and EMRs? Quite a few CDOs in the sector have been tasked with ensuring accurate clinical data and an enterprise view of patients which is crucial for patient safety. However, the legacy EMPIs they have inherited face identity accuracy challenges, resulting in suspect linkages, duplicates, and false positives. CDOs are finding that data teams’ efforts to manually resolve these issues may still result in a high risk of missed critical medical histories due to duplication. Find out what innovation led data management strategies your peers are deploying to rectify these issues. 

  • Discover a step-by-step approach to analysing legacy EMPI’s performance and providing resolutions and corrections to resolve suspect, missed, and overmatches.
  • Learn how to best deliver the results that will dramatically and substantially improve the accuracy of your identity data
  • Gain deeper understanding of the impact that identify accuracy can have on your enterprise’s bottom line

2:40 pm - 3:10 pm PLENARY PRESENTATION: DATA AND VALUE BASED CARE - USING PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS TO MONITOR AND INCREASE THE FRAMEWORK’S IMPACT ON GENERAL POPULATION HEALTH OVER TIME

Rasheed El-Moslimany - Chief Business Intelligence/ Analytics Officer, Parkview Health

Approximately half of U.S. healthcare spending is concentrated on just 5% of the population, with 22.8% going to just 1%, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. These figures have remained consistent for years. Data and analytics can help balance the relationship between patient health and costs by identifying critical points in the care journey where conditions can be prevented, keeping patients out of the hospital. With the rise of value-based care, CDOs are implementing methods to accurately measure outcomes and impact. While the value-based care framework aims to share patient data and performance information to identify trends, gaps, and improvement opportunities, practical challenges remain in achieving this quickly, ethically, cost-effectively, and safely. Collaboration remains a key strength in this sector.

  • Hear about the impact initiatives to standardize data metrics and frameworks are making on reducing the number of hospital visits and increasing overall health for different patient populations.
  • Evaluate the direct effect of various monitoring and early intervention data-led initiatives for at-risk patient groups facing social determinants of health issues on cost reduction.
  • Determine the value of sharing anonymized data and best practices across organizations through an open-source model to support more robust benchmarking and evaluation of different approaches.

3:10 pm - 3:40 pm PLENARY PRESENTATION: MAXIMISING THE VALUE OF DATA: USING INTERNAL DATA PRODUCTS TO GENERATE MILLION-DOLLAR INSIGHTS AND DEVELOPING EXTERNAL DATA PRODUCTS AS STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS

CDOs in healthcare are currently focusing on data products from an internal standpoint to fit whatever the organization's strategic priorities might be, from faster insights for critical decision making to improving data governance and monitoring KPIs. More recently data leaders are starting to consider the commercial opportunity of monetizing external data products. There is potential revenue in play from working with organizations outside of healthcare. Before this shift could happen, data leaders must put a failsafe in place. 

  • Learn to prioritize when deciding what is the real potential to generate revenue of a specific external data product compared to the amount of resource required to develop it. 
  • Hear about ways anonymized data can help with the normalization of data sets to gain comparability across different organizations feeding into it.
  • Discover ways to take advantage of the increased demand for healthcare data products with technology providers needing to assess, validate and expand their GenAI solutions.
