Healthcare data is a veritable feast - trillions of rows, across billions of patients, housed in millions of silos globally. It's a little-known law, but healthtech startups are now legally required to have the phrase 'data-driven' somewhere on their website, just to be able to get a seat at the table (or the next round of investment).
Data has transformed industries globally - from finance to shipping, energy to retail. Healthcare data has the power to transform our lives more than any other, but it’s still far from realising its maximum potential. Underutilised, siloed, and mired in ethical and moral debate. To access the potential goldmine, the conversation has to finally move forward.
Where will data make the most effective difference in healthcare? And how do we excavate this impenetrable goldmine?

2024 health tech agenda
Goldmine or fool’s gold?: Extracting value from health data
Hospital of the future: Where robots dance, stethoscopes groove, & clinicians conduct
Healthcare: 2024. A frenzy of fee-for-service, spiralling costs, workforce burnout and pandemic fallout. But look up to the skies? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s radical reimbursement! In it swoops. Caped and charismatic. Challenging the status quo. Embracing a new approach. Instead of counting pennies for every procedure, it clamours for change. As Europe's population swells and ages, this radical rebel is needed more than ever. Rewarding providers for delivering first-class care and outstanding outcomes. Championing patient satisfaction and cost-efficiency. Be gone, old ways – radical reimbursement is here! So how can reimbursement be repurposed to meet the needs of today’s health systems and patients? And who’s responsible for the change?

When systems speak to each other: the CIO view on interoperability
Teamwork, as every value statement in the early 00s proudly proclaimed, makes the dreamwork. And for this, communication is key.
But when it comes to getting different systems to talk to one another, it can feel like a Herculean task. Scores of papers over the years have tried to measure the number of wasted hours this lack of integration creates. They all arrive at different estimates, but they all agree: it's too much, it has a huge negative impact on staff wellbeing and patient outcomes, and it costs a fortune.
At the heart of this debate, CIOs have to wrestle with myriad frameworks and requirements. Frustration is a word that crops up more often than it should in these discussions. With so many requirements, we have to ask: Is true interoperability a pipe dream?
