During the week of October 21, 2019, healthcare data and analytics practitioners from across the U.S. and Canada descended upon Ann Arbor to participate in the annual conference of the Healthcare Data & Analytics Association (HDAA)—hosted by Michigan Medicine. The theme of this year’s conference was The Art of Data & Analytics.
Almost 400 attendees from more than 140 health-care institutions participated in the conference. Beginning with a Meet and Greet on Monday night, attendees spent Tuesday, Wednesday, and a half-day Thursday taking in panel and roundtable discussions, poster sessions, and breakout sessions.
Attendees included data experts and those just starting out in the field, from data analysts, and data scientists to systems analysts, data warehouse developers, and more. Physicians and nurses were also in attendance as more clinicians recognize the importance of analytics in serving their patient populations.
