The World Congress Leadership Summit on Building the Data Infrastructure to Drive Evidence-Based Improvements in Health Care is designed to address the opportunities and challenges for providers in managing clinical data in today’s new health care environment.  With an increased focus on accountability and adoption of EHRs, data is now a strategic asset for providers. Clinical analytics, or the use of clinical data to identify and measure quality, patient safety, business efficiency and improvements, has incredible potential to bring value to provider organizations by strengthening their ability to deliver high-value health care. 

At this Summit, the audience will gain insights into the challenges of managing data well beyond ensuring that data resides in a database that has analytic tools.  Through case studies and panel discussions, the audience will learn strategies for increasing access to data and its integration, developing analytical capabilities and interpretative skills for creating actionable data that will lead to long-term sustainable knowledge.
