About the Institute


We are in the midst of a data-driven transformation of health care. Like never before, applications of data in evidence-based practices are at the center of reshaping health care delivery by improving quality and controlling costs. This has led to many complicated new questions. If you are a leader in a health care delivery system, an entrepreneur in health care, or a health services researcher, participating in AcademyHealth’s Health Data Leadership Institute will give you the practical knowledge intended to inform your institution’s data-driven transformation strategy.

The Health Data Leadership Institute provides an engaging and interactive forum for individuals to gain a working knowledge of payment, regulatory, data access, and storage and use policies, coupled with the opportunity to explore case studies on innovative data applications. Designed to meet emerging needs in transforming health care delivery, it provides a unique opportunity for the exchange of data-centric perspectives and knowledge on evidence-based practices and health services research.

The Institute ensures opportunities for dialogue and small group discussion with practitioners in the field and peers who are experiencing similar challenges and opportunities. Attendees learn from health policy experts, government program leaders, data users, entrepreneurs who have deep knowledge in data use, and data experts from technology and health care applications fields – through interactive panels and discussions within an intimate setting.
