Achieving the Promise: Analytics and Machine Learning in Healthcare

An Economist Webinar

The Economist

The healthcare industry is increasingly under pressure to ensure a steady flow of high quality, actionable data. The consequences of overlooking this imperative are harmful: a bad data foundation results in meaningless and misleading outputs.

There has been a surge in data visualization to make data scientists out of citizens and get the general public to ‘see’ the bigger picture. This data driven healthcare culture, fueled by the pandemic, will without a doubt, outlive it.

The emphasis on unearthing facts and figures and making them universally digestible will be hugely consequential. Enacting this mandate though, hinges on putting the right infrastructure in place and this extends far beyond just investing in technology.

In this webinar, we will answers some key questions:

  • What are the hurdles to getting high quality interoperable data that can be scaled and leveraged for analytics?
  • How can visualization be used to improve data literacy globally?
  • How conscious are we of the link between sources of data and bias?
  • How does this impact our understanding of social determinants of health?
  • How can we harness machine learning to make healthcare more efficient, and free up resources for care?

This webinar is hosted by The Economist Events and sponsored by InterSystems.

Dr. Emily Ramos speaks with MIT researcher Dr. Angelica Marotta about how artificial intelligence is beginning to transform healthcare delivery—not by replacing clinicians, but by helping them spend less time at the computer and more time with patients. Drawing on research from a hospital AI deployment, the conversation explores how generative AI can reduce documentation burden, improve communication, increase eye contact, and support better clinical workflows while reinforcing the importance of trust, risk management, and keeping humans in the loop. Watch the video to hear practical insights for healthcare leaders, clinicians, and technology teams navigating the next phase of AI adoption.

Industry Insights
Data Integration Key to Achieving Needed Breakthroughs in Healthcare When peers from other industries ask why data hasn’t driven comparable breakthroughs in healthcare, the answer is usually hiding in plain sight: clinical and administrative data still live in different systems and “speak” different digital languages. Integrating them is a prerequisite for the next wave of progress—better care, better patient experience, and better operational performance at the same time. Fortunately, there are now multiple mandates spurring this integration, from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requiring Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources APIs, to National Committee for Quality Assurance embracing digital quality measures, to enforcement of prohibitions against information blocking. Health plans and providers, however, must guard against swapping these two longstanding data siloes for several new ones.
