Extracting Actionable Insights From Medical Records Data

Big data in healthcare is being used to predict epidemics, cure disease, improve quality of life and avoid preventable deaths. New techniques are emerging that make it possible to extract actionable insights out of claims and medical records data to reduce the cost of care and systematically look at large numbers of patients to identify those at risk for health problems, or who could benefit from particular treatments. This session will feature some of the ways healthcare data can be explored to reveal the path to a disease or how the community you live in can influence your health.
