Data & Analytics in Healthcare, New Zealand

Register; and grab coffee.

Mix, mingle, and say hello to peers old and new.

Our approach to data literacy at Capital & Coast District Health Board (CC, Te Whatu Ora) sees us attempt to make complex data contexts transparent, so as to try to narrow the gap between the meaning constructed by the writer and the meaning interpreted by the reader.  
This session will discuss: 

• The importance of data standardisation to support work 
• What are the assumptions that people make about data and how to work with them 
• Data literacy that supports the effective functioning of the staff using it 
• How to respect the experience of participants and acknowledge that not all data comes from graphs and tables. 
• Learn from the success when this program was implemented.  

 Speaker: Stuart McCaw, Program Manager, Capital & Coast, Te Whatu Ora 

Speakers:

Brian Biggs, Director, Customer Relations and Sales, New Zealand, Intersystems

Andrew Aho, Regional Director of Data Platforms, Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asia, InterSystems

• Where are the skilled IT data professionals coming from 
• A belief that you need a background in healthcare to work in Health IT

There is exhaustive academic literature on TAM and TOM on HealthCare.  However, very few studies have been published on pragmatic approaches and experiences which aligns these frameworks into tactical and strategic directions.  Especially, when it comes to building Analytics and AI Competency within a Hospital setting.   
This case study proposes a framework which may open up new and readily adoptable opportunities in the use of Analytics and AI for better health care. 
 
Speaker: Ibrahim Shafiu, Business Intelligence Services Coordinator, Waikato, Te Whatu Ora 

Join a table and discuss the hypothetical Hippocratic oath and the ongoing consent discussion. 
 
Always keep the patient/customer context firmly in view, transparency is key moving forward (and should be interpretated as a positive one). Think about the harm that can be done by not sharing data in the right way, balanced against the risk of a privacy breach, just because you can does not mean you should. 
 
This becomes an ongoing consent discussion. Where do you draw the line and what do you think should be mandated? How do you make patients aware of the impact this will have on holistic health approaches? 
 
Speakers:  
Masum Billah, Head of Data Science, Tuwharetoa Health

Farhein Akmal, Senior Analyst, The Ministry of Health
