We have already experienced a decade of progress in digitizing medical records, as pharmaceutical companies and other organisations aggregate years of research and development data in electronic databases. Federal government and other public stakeholders have also accelerated the move toward transparency by making decades of stored data usable, searchable, and actionable by the healthcare sector.

Nevertheless, the big-data revolution is still in its early days, and most of the potential for value creation is still unclaimed. But it has set the industry on a path of rapid change and new discoveries. This forum will help Payors, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and providers develop proactive strategies for winning in the new environment.

Many innovative companies in the private sector are building applications and analytical tools that help patients, physicians, and other healthcare stakeholders identify value and opportunities. Healthcare stakeholders now have access to promising new threads of knowledge. This information is a form of “big-data”, so called not only for its sheer volume, but for its complexity, diversity, and timeliness.

This event will bring leading players (healthcare experts) together to discuss, share and exchange their latest developments in the market as well as finding answers on how to improve healthcare analytics and tap new insight to save someone’s life!  Register here.
