Healthcare analytics experts from Mayo Clinic and the University of California, San Francisco will headline the HIMSS Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum in San Francisco, June 14-15.
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 22, 2016
HIMSS announced today that leading experts from Mayo Clinic and the University of California San Francisco will headline the Fifth Annual Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum, the nation’s leading event for healthcare organizations tackling analytics, which kicks off at the Grand Hyatt San Francisco, June 14-15, 2016.
Sponsored by Attunity, Caradigm, DataWatch, Jvion, and PHEMI, the two-day Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum features 32 experts from leading institutions, including Advocate Health Care, Aetna, Geisinger Health System, Penn Medicine, and others. Attendees can choose from 19 thought leadership sessions, and seven unique networking opportunities – all designed to provide analytics best practices, actionable strategies, and business solutions they can implement at their own organization.
Last year, U.S. hospitals collectively lost $420 billion to Medicare readmissions penalties, with 506 hospitals losing at least 1 percent of their Medicare payments. Now more than ever, a healthcare organization’s survivability and sustained success depends on how well they leverage analytics to enable smarter business and clinical decisions. The HIMSS Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum will help attendees establish a solid foundation of analytics best practices and tackle those challenges head on.
“The Big Data revolution has finally come to healthcare, and organizations need to quickly adapt to the new landscape, but many are unsure where to begin,” said John Whelan, Executive Vice President, HIMSS Media. “Our forum is the only event of its kind that provides a map for navigating this analytics terrain. We’ve brought in the top innovators in healthcare, who will share business-critical insights around developing and fine-tuning a solid analytics strategy that works for their organization.”
The HIMSS Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum in San Francisco brings together big data experts from leading organizations who will share tips and techniques on building an analytics team; data warehousing; driving adoption; population health; predictive analytics; preventing readmissions; registries; technology and process improvement; and more.
