Since its inception, Health Datapalooza has been a gathering place for people and organizations creating knowledge from data and pioneering innovations that drive policy and practice and generate market value. The 2023 Health Datapalooza will once again bring together attendees from across the health care landscape to discuss the future of health data and the policies and innovations that will spark real transformation in health care.
AcademyHealth’s Health Datapalooza sits at the intersection of disruptive ideas, rigorous evidence, and courageous discussions among changemakers in the data and policy spheres. Startups, federal agencies, health care delivery systems, patients and consumer advocates, researchers, and the media will meet in February at this unique event to connect over a common goal: unlocking data and developing smart policies to innovate and improve health and health care for all.
To keep everyone as safe as possible, AcademyHealth will be instituting mandatory health and safety protocols throughout the conference. This will be a vaccine-required event.
