SUMMARY:Big Data and Healthcare Analytics Forum
DESCRIPTION:Health care is undergoing a massive transformation. That’s no secret. Reimbursement is shrinking\, providers are being asked to shoulder more risk\, and patients are more involved in their care than ever. The ability to use analytics to transform data into actionable information – smarter business and clinical decisions – will play a big role in who survives this transformation.  \nYet with so many analytics tools and models\, how do organizations maximize the data’s value and make a real impact on health care and costs? \nThe Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum brings together thought leaders from across the nation to answer these questions and more. This will be two highly targeted days of health care-focused insights\, success stories and lessons learned\, and information about the transition to value-based care. \nSessions will focus on:\n\nPopulation Health\nAnalytics Strategy\nData Governance\nUniversal Best Practices for all Providers\, Large and Small\nPredictive Analytics\nPrescriptive Analytics\nCalculating ROI\nStandardizing Care\nPrivacy & Security\nHealth care reform
