For at least 10 years, the Federal Health community has sought to realize the promise of analytics’ ability to improve nearly every aspect of mission and back-office needs. While considerable ground has been gained, it’s unlikely that a data scientist would declare the job done. In this session, our panel will take stock of the progress made and objectives yet to be achieved.

Potential topics include:

• Transforming from data surveillance for deeper programmatic and operational insights
• Improving health outcomes with data analytics
• How predictive analytics is helping federal healthcare agencies
• The role of data analytics platforms in helping research institutions keep in front of the exponential growth in genomics and life sciences data
• Using machine learning and AI for proactive analysis and data insight
