Making Data Useful: See It at the Summit

August 2, 2023 · Andy Reynolds

“Making Data Useful” is one of six focused topics at our Health Innovation Summit 2023.

The Trouble With Today’s Health Data

Remember when health data were scarce? Those days are over.

Today, the amount and sources of data are vast. Clinical, administrative, consumer, patient-reported data (including from wearables) flow freely.

Now What?

That’s the question examined by the “Making Data Useful” track at the NCQA Health Innovation Summit, October 23–25 in Orlando.

What You’ll Learn

Attendees will home in on accessibility, accuracy and availability of data.

Speakers will address:

• Teaming.
• Workflow.
• Standards.
• Data operations.

Session topics include:
