Thousands of executives, clinicians, researchers, analysts, and healthcare and healthcare IT professionals participated in this year's event, themed "Multi-Domain Analytics: Create a Winning Team Approach."
"After all these years of hosting HAS, I continue to be blown away by the case study presentations, demonstrating massive healthcare improvement, and the significant advancements in data, analytics, AI, and healthcare technology that are presented at the conference," said Paul Horstmeier, Chief Operating Officer at Health Catalyst. "Many of the learnings and "a-ha" moments that occurred this week will be the first step in a health organization's transformation to deliver even greater patient outcomes and operational and financial success."
HAS21 Virtual included 192 Braindate topics, 30+ AI and Analytics Showcases, and 30+ conference sessions, all presented by well-known visionaries and C-level executives from leading healthcare organizations.
Highlights from HAS21 Virtual includes:
Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr delivered the HAS 21 Keynote. Drawing parallels to the healthcare industry, Kerr stressed the importance of utilizing data in a high-pressure, fast-paced industry and concluded by offering some sage advice: ensure your data is accurate, then trust it.
Patrick McGill, MD, Executive Vice President, Chief Analytics Officer, at Community Health Network, shared how, through the creation of a practice management dashboard application on their enterprise EDW, the health system reduced reporting hours by 40, while improving quality outcomes and access for new patients and specialist referrals by about 25 percent.
In one of the most impactful sessions of the conference, Chris Chen, MD, CEO of ChenMed, shared how ChenMed improves the health of underserved senior citizen populations under a fully capitated model. Dr. Chen also shared how ChenMed went from 99 percent in-person visits to 100 percent virtual at the start of the pandemic.
During a session titled "Population Health: People Get Ready," Dr. Will Caldwellchallenged the audience to reconsider their understanding of population health, declaring that population health must be "agnostic to a payer model." Dr. Caldwell also highlighted the significance of population-based data as the traditional EMR holds only 11 percent of the data leaders need to understand their populations.
Patrice A. Harris, MD, MA, FAPA, Psychiatrist, Former President, American Medical Association, Co-Founder and CEO, eMed, emphasized the importance of proactive action where there are opportunities for engagement, including strategic partnerships, community organizing, civic engagement, health education, case management, healthcare, and public policy, to advance health equity.
