Galileo Analytics Co-Founder Anna McCollister-Slipp will speak today at AdvaMed 2014, the leading gathering of medical technology professionals in North America.

McCollister-Slipp will be part of a panel discussing the need to promote interoperability and data integration among medical devices and electronic health records (EHRs). In addition to improving patient care and safety, the panel will discuss the promise of using the data derived from interoperable EHRs and devices to better understand important patterns in health and care. McCollister-Slipp has been a vocal advocate for the need for device and EHR interoperability and the potential of integrated data streams to provide tools for better assessing the effects of various care strategies on health outcomes.

The Big (Data) Picture

4:00–5:15
Track: eHealth & Health IT
Room: W179A
McCormick Place
Chicago, IL

Panel Overview:

We are all in the business of gathering and sharing data to best serve patients. Amazing tools are at work in today’s hospitals and health care systems, generating an unprecedented amount of data that could be applied to improve health care across populations. What’s missing? These tools are largely disconnected; they cannot share information. We must find a reliable and common way of sharing data across devices, across health systems and across continents. How can we bring together fragmented, disparate efforts and accelerate them to enable quality patient care and outcomes? Learn from experts across the health care ecosystem on how the industry can collaborate on the big (data) picture and what it means for health care delivery.
