Making sense of patient data – to upgrade Europe’s health systems

The data challenge:

How and why do we measure patient outcomes?
December 16th 2016, The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, London SE1 9SG

In the UK, as across the EU, there is growing interest in improving the effectiveness of our healthcare systems by measuring
what patients themselves think about it: What was the outcome of their treatment? But this is easier said than done.
The problem is in the data. Are we measuring the right things? Do we have the systems to gather the data? Will healthcare
workers cooperate? Will administrators properly analyse the data? And will policy makers act on it? These are a series
of classic Big Data problems that arise in many other fields, but are especially tricky in as politically sensitive a field as
health management.
This Science|Business event, in partnership with the University of Warwick Medical School, focuses on the data challenge
– drawing especially on the unique experience of British health authorities.
