Unlocking Insights for Sustainable Healthcare: A Conversation with TJ Elbert at HIMSS 2023

 

Healthcare technology is at the forefront of improving patient care, and TJ Elbert, Chief Data Officer at Health Catalyst, is enthusiastic about the potential it holds. The use of data and analytics plays a vital role in addressing the economic challenges health systems face today, and can significantly enhance the financial sustainability of these organizations. Elbert argues that data-driven insights can help healthcare providers focus more on patient care and tackle prevalent issues like physician burnout.

“The key to doing that is unlocking insights into what’s going on in your business through data,” Elbert says, emphasizing the role of high-value data in driving effective analytics. The major challenge facing the healthcare sector is how to provide outstanding services in a challenging economic environment, and technology offers a way forward, enabling efficiency and reducing costs. As businesses and consumers navigate the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, data and analytics could pave the way for a more sustainable future in healthcare.
