About the topic:
Healthcare providers have moved (or currently moving) from paper-based information management to electronic health record (EHR) systems. In practice, effective digital health system is one of the main pillar of Saudi 2030 vision. Nowadays, data from large numbers of patients is being collected and stored in an electronic format, and these accumulated data should potentially enhance healthcare services.
In general, the wide adoption of EHR systems has enabled the availability of huge amounts of data in different types and formats (e.g. structured data, free text, image, video, audio, etc). This situation paved the way for data analytics techniques to find their ways in the health information management domain not just for improving patient care outcomes but also to improve the quality of care, reduce costs and improve patient population health.
The aim of this workshop is to provide an overview of how data analytics techniques can provide methods and processes for extracting and transforming raw medical data into meaningful insight, new discovery and knowledge that supports efficient and effective healthcare decisions.
