Healthcare providers are increasingly turning to data solutions and strategies to mine and maximise the potential of vast stores of information across their systems, in the hope of turning stats into actionable insights that can help shape policies and practice, with the long-term aim of improving both patient and staff experiences and outcomes.

From workforce planning and capacity predictions at a local level, through to nationally and internationally important research, disease monitoring, Population Health Management and trend-spotting, there are many ways data can be harnessed to improve lives across the globe. While the ethics around how we store, manage and use data in healthcare is also continually under the microscope.
