What is advanced analytics?

We've chosen to define this term broadly: any technology that pertains to the movement, analysis or presentation of healthcare data. This group's original name was "Big Data," and the early discussions revolved around data lakes, cloud computing and the like.

The pandemic put a halt to our technology meetings -- competing priorities intruded. However, Dan Schneider, Northwestern Medicine, and Jeff Weaver, Emory University, have agreed to lead a revived conversation. If you're interested in helping us guide future conversations, please contact Dan from the contacts at the bottom of this page.

Upcoming events

Date: Thursday February 13th, Noon Eastern,
Topic: Johns Hopkins will present how they used a Large Language Model to address VTE.  Topics include:

  • AI Governance and shifting our mindset towards pilots and POCs over locking in enterprise choices
  • Experimentation results – relative strengths and weaknesses of GPT-4o in our experience (not at whitepaper strength yet, far below publishable)
  • Data environment – matching the experimentation data set (Clarity-derived lake) with the operational data set (Epic FHIR, other realtime methods)
  • And looking ahead at the promise of Fabric to mitigate this gap
  • Our cloud strategy for AI build – Epic vs. outside Epic

Why VTE, and the clinical roadmap for what we hope to achieve
