Agenda

Healthcare organizations are required to quickly identify efficiencies, improve patient care, and determine the best allocation resources on an escalating basis. Overcome your care transformation challenges with data driven decision-making. Develop a blueprint to:

• Pinpoint gaps in your care delivery to improve outcomes
• Identify your internal and external challenges to enhance performance
• Empower evidence-based approaches to improve your quality of care

Seize the benefits of data in your organization to improve decision-making.

There is a wealth of information that exists on the health status of Canadians. Unlock the potential of this data to understand the complex needs of your patient populations. Source strategies to:

• Use multiple data sources to create a unified view of your population of interest
• Design a data-driven approach to optimize the delivery of patient services and health programs
• Create patient personas to help your organization better understand patient needs

Gain a better perception of your patient needs through data integration.

According to MGI, the application of big data analytics can potentially remove $200–$300 billion in cost inefficiencies from the healthcare system. Ensure your organization utilizes their resources at maximum efficiency. Source best practices to:

• Embed analytics in your organization in a cost efficient manner
• Improve your organizational performance and accountability
• Break down silos to reduce your communication lag

Acquire new methods of resource utilization to increase your efficiencies.

Too often analytics are separated from important inputs throughout the organization that ensure optimized results. Develop your strategic plan to leverage analytics and meet performance targets. Create a blueprint to:

• Identify and meet your strategic goals to reduce data gaps
• Align your quality goals of management, departments, and programs
• Create continuous feedback in your processes to improve performance

Implement a cohesive analytics strategy to achieve healthcare quality improvement initiatives.

Rapidly improving in their analytic capabilities, public health organizations are developing unique preventative actionable knowledge. Attain unique methods to implement analytics into your processes. Take away specific solutions to:

• Apply new technology to boost your data comprehension potential
• Create buy-in in spite of longer-term outcomes
• Derive predictive modelling from your data to reduce adverse events

Derive new insights on your analytic processes from public health initiatives.

Join the conference speakers and your peers for a relaxing lunch.

Analytics at healthcare organizations are often able to gain from the advances and findings from research focused studies. Craft a blueprint to drive deeper analytic insights at your organization. Create a roadmap to:

• Incorporate new perspectives on measuring your healthcare processes
• Develop new points of view in your outcome measurement
• Uncover the potential of computer simulations to improve your planning

Draw upon expert experience to uncover new methods of enhancing your analytics program.

The lack of standards in reporting, processes, definitions, etc. create numerous inefficiencies in healthcare analytics. Streamline your processes to enhance your healthcare delivery. Create a roadmap to:

• Govern your reporting methods to enhance decision making
• Unify your processes to break down organizational silos
• Clarify your definitions to improve your data cleanliness

Expand the potential of data at your disposal by standardizing your procedures.

Gain insights from your industry peers and benchmark your organization against others in this interactive session. Delegates will be divided into informal discussion groups based on their areas of interest.

“Flock together” to brainstorm innovative approaches to your most pressing challenges.

CIHI‘s initiatives are highlighting the critical importance of “collect once, use many times” to reduce the data reporting burden for healthcare organizations. Ensure your organization remains at the forefront of healthcare analytics. Acquire insight to:

• Benchmark your processes to ensure maximum ROI
• Align your measurement strategy to ensure compatibility with nation-wide objectives
• Devise strategies to reduce your reporting burden

Forecast your challenges and opportunities to improve your processes.

The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC) has been striving to continuously improve health information management. Align your strategy with the MOHLTC to ensure your analytics program is future ready. Source best practices to:

• Benchmark your information management standards to improve efficiencies
• Maximize your returns on new analytics investments
• Leverage increasing access to data to improve your decision making capabilities

Solidify your information management systems and processes to maintain quality service.

Scorecards, dashboards, and reports are tools used to support performance and quality management decision making– however, poor data visualization can contribute to user frustration, misinterpretation, or disinterest. A user-centred design approach that focuses on understanding user needs, tasks, and environments can help improve the value and usability of these tools. Through interactive participation in a design challenge, attendees will learn about:

1. The phases of user-centred design
2. User research and co-design methods
3. Graph/chart selection based on user needs
4. Visual design tips and tricks

Create higher impact performance and quality improvement tools by leveraging proven user-centred design techniques.
