Leveraging Data for Health Care Innovation

As health care organizations adopt more value-based care delivery models, the integration of data and information assets into care delivery will be table stakes. Health care providers will need to be able leverage their unique position as creators and aggregators of data to improve patient experience and outcomes, and reduce cost. The digital revolution is disrupting every field and transforming entire systems of production and communication, creating entirely new ways of consuming goods and services. Consumerism is driving convenience and ease of use in the health care experience. With the upsurge in the use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), this change will only accelerate. And as disruption in health care accelerates, hospitals and health systems need to enhance efforts to embrace data and analytics with AI and ML to adapt to consumer needs faster, solve complex challenges and find opportunities for better outcomes.
