Big data and disruption in health care — Tech News and Analysis

According to an article recently published in Forbes, the opportunity for disruption in the health care market is a trillion (with a T!) dollars. Or as recently cited on SiliconAngle,

“As of today, 80 percent of medical data is unstructured but clinically relevant. If this data can be better leveraged, it could create more than $300 billion in value each year.”

The opportunity — for disruption but also for creation of value — is tremendous. That is why I am so personally excited to be working with Gigaom Research on a new project, “The promise and challenge of data management in modern health care,” a free analyst roundtable webinar on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014, at 10:00 am PT. I’ll be joining Gigaom’s Jo Maitland, John Webster from Evaluator Group and our customer Dan Woicke of Cerner to discuss topics including:

A high-level overview of how health care is changing from a regulatory and technology standpoint
What are the challenges and opportunities with respect to data management in health care?
What is the impact of big data in health care?
What technologies are hospitals using today to improve data management?
What are the trends shaping health care from a technology standpoint over the next three to five years?

You should attend if you are:

CIOs at health care providers
IT decision makers
Enterprise architects
Database architects
Data management professionals
Data analysts

I hope you will join us on the 23rd. Register now!
