Dr. Dana Rollison is the Vice President, Chief Data Officer (VP, CDO) and Associate Center Director (ACD) of Data Science at Moffitt Cancer Center, driving innovation in three synergistic areas: 1) enterprise data curation, analytics and informatics including data-driven decision support provided by the teams in Health Data Services; 2) Moffitt’s Cancer Analytics Platform (MCAP), a cloud-based enterprise wide data and analytics hub, designed to enable translational research, accountable care analytics, and precision medicine; 3) Data Science in the Moffitt Research Institute, including academic oversight of the faculty in Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Integrated Mathematical Oncology, and Machine Learning. Leveraging her dual role as CDO and ACD, Dr. Rollison seeks to orchestrate and optimize Moffitt’s extensive data assets to accelerate scientific discovery and improve cancer patient outcomes. A Senior Member in the Cancer Epidemiology Program, her research focuses on the application of data science techniques to elucidate cancer etiology, enhance cancer surveillance, and advance equitable care delivery. Dr. Rollison completed her BS in biology at the University of Miami and her ScM, PhD and postdoctoral training in epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins University before joining Moffitt Cancer Center in 2004.
In this session, we will explore the holistic data strategy implemented at Moffitt, addressing the diverse data needs across administration, research, and clinical domains. We will discuss the approach to surveying the landscape of data use cases, focusing on a North Star use case to guide improvements in various data domains. By strategically investing in data curation—whether through manual efforts, NLP-derived methods, or innovative workflow integrations—the aim is to enhance the quality and efficiency of downstream analytics. Gain insights into the development and execution of the data strategy, highlighting the role of AI as a tool for driving the use cases and the importance of a strategic approach to data investment.
