Special Event to Examine How Data is Transforming Healthcare and Policy Implications(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 -- The Software & Information Industry Association issued the following news release: The Software & Information Industry Association - the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries - will bring together political, business and health leaders for an in-depth discussion on how data analytics is transforming healthcare. The event, at 12 p.m. on November 13th, will feature a variety of perspectives on e-health innovations, the ways in which data analytics is impacting healthcare in America, and policy implications. America's healthcare system is dependent on information, and data is increasingly driving innovation that improves patient outcomes. Applying data analytics to healthcare is helping health professionals make informed treatment decisions at the point of care, accelerate the search for cures, reduce preventable hospitalization and associated costs, and more. Data innovations are also speeding the delivery of treatments and cures to the market. Unfortunately, our nation's laws have not kept pace with this innovation. In addition to highlighting the latest health technologies and innovations, SIIA's event will examine the challenges of the current regulatory framework and the need to develop an appropriate risk-based framework that provides the clarity and certainty needed to advance the positive benefits of e-health.
