As the importance of data in healthcare has grown rapidly, the emphasis has turned to using data to accelerate the pace of clinical, operational and financial outcomes. This year’s Health Catalyst-sponsored medical analytics conference—Healthcare Analytics Summit 2017 (Sept. 12-14 at The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah)—will address this issue, covering critical areas such as:

• The implications for healthcare of digital strategies adopted by other industries

• How patient data outside the healthcare system becomes critical to the success of value-based models

• How data and analytics have become a central and strategic function for every healthcare organization
