Healthcare (Virtual) Forum - 210818

"Healthcare Data in the Digital World: How its use and analysis drives better Healthcare" presented by Dr. Frances Ridley Boykin, AT&T Director Advanced Analytics

The PMI Atlanta Healthcare Forum has 9 planned sessions throughout 2021. Proposed topics include IT & IT PMO in Healthcare, Healthcare SME/Domain Forums such as Clinical, Laboratory, Research, Tomorrow's Healthcare & Government practices/law, Thought Leadership in Healthcare, and Innovation in Healthcare Technology.

Presentation 

In recent years, we have seen an increase in the use of technology and data in the healthcare industry. For example, we now have devices such as CPAP machines that contain sim cards that directly send sleep results to your physician. Your physician team can make changes to the device digitally to improve your sleep patterns.

We now have medicine bottles that provide alerts to ensure medicine is taken when needed. Diabetic patients can avoid finger sticks using devices such as the Freestyle Libre which monitors blood sugar levels and can connect to smart devices and your physician teams. With these devices comes much needed data and platforms that allow not only day-to-day monitoring of health, but also long-term predictive analytics and forecasting for future patient care.

As project and program managers it is up to us to help guide and facilitate initiatives that turn this data into useful analytics and products that foster company growth and provide positive impact to individual health.
