DSN/CCA webinar to examine use of big data, analytics in pharmacy, retail clinics and more
Increasingly, insurers and healthcare providers are creating and analyzing giant data sets to support quality improvement, planning, population health management and cost effectiveness. Mobile phones, online shopping, social networks, electronic communication, GPS, and instrumented machinery all produce a mass amount of data as a by-product of their ordinary operations. Everyone is now a walking data generator and the data available are often unstructured simply waiting to be released.
To help key healthcare stakeholders and industry professionals better understand the critical importance of managing big data and harnessing control over an infinite amount of information, Drug Store News and the Convenient Care Association will host an exclusive webinar, “Big Data,” presented by CVS Health VP, enterprise analytics, Bob Darin. Slated for Wednesday, Nov. 11, “Big Data,” is part of the six-part, DSN/CCA Retail Healthcare Webinar Series, which runs through December. Click to register.
“Retail health clinics in traditional retail chain drug stores have become a critical boardroom conversation and a key platform to transform traditional brick and mortar retailers into integrated healthcare providers,” said Wayne Bennett, group publisher of Drug Store News.
“This educational platform is unique because the webinars are specifically designed for healthcare leadership and professionals and showcase the value proposition of the retail health industry,” said Tine Hansen-Turton, executive director of the Convenient Care Association.
