Register Now

As population demographics change and chronic conditions increase, the health care system in Canada is becoming overburdened. This increased need along with a push towards value-based patient-centric care has led to a unique inflection point for the industry.

As a result, Health care organizations across Canada are focused on improving patient outcomes while:

  • understanding how to leverage new digital technologies and analytics
  • improving quality of care to help bend the cost curve and manage the soaring cost of health care
  • improving patient experience and access to the health services

 

To achieve the outlined goals, organizations now recognize the need to look at their patient population more holistically and are beginning to use complex data sets and predictive analytics to ensure better outcomes. Additionally, acknowledging the value of collaboration across the entire value chain, stakeholders are looking to work together and find new ways to take the data located in departmental silos and transform it into actionable insights.

Join us on Wednesday, September 11th at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria BC for an invitation-only Breakfast event to hear about real world AI & Analytics applications in health care that are breaking ground, delivering transformative value and providing the analytical business-smart approach that fuels it.

Hear from the expert panel on topics such as:

  • How health care organizations can leverage advanced analytics to make better, more informed decisions
  • How AI and Machine learning can augment the analysis being currently done
  • What is involved in building a data driven culture that supports cross-collaboration
  • How can analytics help provide ‘real-world’ evidence to drive policy decisions and provide measurable ROI
  • What are the key challenges and misconceptions in adoption of analytics and AI within Health care
