Starting on Monday, March 5 more than 40,000 healthcare industry experts will land in Las Vegas for the HIMSS conference, the largest health IT event in the U.S. There are thousands of speaking sessions and showcases to see that will teach you everything from how to build APIs to making sense of genomics.
We’re especially excited to attend and hear our own MedeAnalytics’ customer, Soyal Momin, Vice President of Data and Analytics at Presbyterian Healthcare Services (PHS), present an educational session at the conference. The session titled, Driving Enterprise ROI by Eliminating Data Silos, will take place from 11:30-12:30 p.m. PT on Tuesday, March 6 at the Venetian Convention Center in Palazzo D. Soyal will address how after three years and many resources invested in an enterprise data warehouse, PHS needed an action plan and analytics solution that could turn raw data into business value. Soyal will discuss how PHS adopted a data-driven culture that allowed the health system to save more than $11 million and outline best practices to achieve this level of success, including:
- Creating business value from enterprise wide data and analytics strategy and execution
- Assembling an infrastructure around people, process and technology to drive a data-driven culture
- Discussing stakeholder buy-in and organizational-wide support by leveraging change management tools and creating a culture of inclusion across the enterprise
