While technological innovation brings constant change to the data landscape, many organizations still struggle with the basics: ensuring they have reliable, high quality data. In health care, the promise of insight to be gained through analytics is dependent on ensuring the interactions between providers and patients are recorded accurately and completely. While traditional health care data is dependent on person-to-person contact, new technologies are emerging that change how health care is delivered and how health care data is captured, stored, accessed and used. Using health care as a lens through which to understand the emergence of big data, this presentation will ask the audience to think about data in old and new ways in order to gain insight about how to improve the quality of data, regardless of size.
This document discusses how independent software vendors (ISVs) can accelerate their business by providing customers with high-performance data connectivity solutions.

Big Data Analytics - Opportunities, Enablers, Challenges and Risks to Conside...Innovation Enterprise
The document discusses big data analytics opportunities, enablers, challenges and risks in healthcare. It provides examples of big data analytics being used successfully in healthcare settings to predict disease outbreaks, detect infections in premature babies, assist with cancer treatment selection, and predict hospital readmissions. Key enablers for big data analytics include appropriate governance, skills, and technical infrastructure. While progress has been slow, big data analytics is gaining traction in healthcare with early applications including cancer, chronic disease management, remote patient monitoring and predictive analytics.
1) The role of health care data analysts is evolving as the volume of available data grows exponentially. With zettabytes of data being generated, analysts must make sense of both structured and unstructured information.
2) Data analytics can provide insights to improve patient outcomes, lower costs, and enhance the health care experience. Examples show how visualizing data helps health systems better understand utilization and identify at-risk patients.
3) As incentives shift from fee-for-service to value-based models, health systems must transform to focus on population health. Advanced analytics and predictive modeling will be crucial to achieving the goals of better care, lower costs, and improved health.
This document discusses the potential for electronic data capture in community health research and development. It notes that nurses are becoming major contributors of electronically captured data, but that the data is often interpreted and used in ways removed from its original purpose. It outlines six domains where increased data transparency could impact: accountability, choice, productivity, care quality, social innovation and economic growth. However, it stresses the importance of nurses actively participating in and influencing how this data is captured, interpreted and used.

Data at the Speed of Business with Data Mastering and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Do you ever wonder how data-driven organizations fuel analytics, improve customer experience, and accelerate business productivity? They are successful by governing and mastering data effectively so they can get trusted data to those who need it faster. Efficient data discovery, mastering and democratization is critical for swiftly linking accurate data with business consumers. When business teams can quickly and easily locate, interpret, trust, and apply data assets to support sound business judgment, it takes less time to see value.
Join data mastering and data governance experts from Informatica—plus a real-world organization empowering trusted data for analytics—for a lively panel discussion. You’ll hear more about how a single cloud-native approach can help global businesses in any economy create more value—faster, more reliably, and with more confidence—by making data management and governance easier to implement.
What is data literacy? Which organizations, and which workers in those organizations, need to be data-literate? There are seemingly hundreds of definitions of data literacy, along with almost as many opinions about how to achieve it.
In a broader perspective, companies must consider whether data literacy is an isolated goal or one component of a broader learning strategy to address skill deficits. How does data literacy compare to other types of skills or “literacy” such as business acumen?
This session will position data literacy in the context of other worker skills as a framework for understanding how and where it fits and how to advocate for its importance.

Because every organization produces and propagates data as part of their day-to-day operations, data trends are becoming more and more important in the mainstream business world’s consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: “Big Data,” “NoSQL,” “Data Scientist,” and so on. Few realize that all solutions to their business problems, regardless of platform or relevant technology, rely to a critical extent on the data model supporting them. As such, data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data effort, but rather a vital activity that facilitates the solutions driving your business. Since quality engineering/architecture work products do not happen accidentally, the more your organization depends on automation, the more important the data models driving the engineering and architecture activities of your organization. This webinar illustrates data modeling as a key activity upon which so much technology and business investment depends.
Specific learning objectives include:
- Understanding what types of challenges require data modeling to be part of the solution
- How automation requires standardization on derivable via data modeling techniques
- Why only a working partnership between data and the business can produce useful outcomes
Analytics play a critical role in supporting strategic business initiatives. Despite the obvious value to analytic professionals of providing the analytics for these initiatives, many executives question the economic return of analytics as well as data lakes, machine learning, master data management, and the like.
Technology professionals need to calculate and present business value in terms business executives can understand. Unfortunately, most IT professionals lack the knowledge required to develop comprehensive cost-benefit analyses and return on investment (ROI) measurements.
This session provides a framework to help technology professionals research, measure, and present the economic value of a proposed or existing analytics initiative, no matter the form that the business benefit arises. The session will provide practical advice about how to calculate ROI and the formulas, and how to collect the necessary information.
How a Semantic Layer Makes Data Mesh Work at ScaleDATAVERSITY
Data Mesh is a trending approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. However, the pure definition of Data Mesh lacks a center of excellence or central data team and doesn’t address the need for a common approach for sharing data products across teams. The semantic layer is emerging as a key component to supporting a Hub and Spoke style of organizing data teams by introducing data model sharing, collaboration, and distributed ownership controls.
This session will explain how data teams can define common models and definitions with a semantic layer to decentralize analytics product creation using a Hub and Spoke architecture.
Attend this session to learn about:
- The role of a Data Mesh in the modern cloud architecture.
- How a semantic layer can serve as the binding agent to support decentralization.
- How to drive self service with consistency and control.
Enterprise data literacy. A worthy objective? Certainly! A realistic goal? That remains to be seen. As companies consider investing in data literacy education, questions arise about its value and purpose. While the destination – having a data-fluent workforce – is attractive, we wonder how (and if) we can get there.
Kicking off this webinar series, we begin with a panel discussion to explore the landscape of literacy, including expert positions and results from focus groups:
- why it matters,
- what it means,
- what gets in the way,
- who needs it (and how much they need),
- what companies believe it will accomplish.
In this engaging discussion about literacy, we will set the stage for future webinars to answer specific questions and feature successful literacy efforts.
The Data Trifecta – Privacy, Security & Governance Race from Reactivity to Re...DATAVERSITY
Change is hard, especially in response to negative stimuli or what is perceived as negative stimuli. So organizations need to reframe how they think about data privacy, security and governance, treating them as value centers to 1) ensure enterprise data can flow where it needs to, 2) prevent – not just react – to internal and external threats, and 3) comply with data privacy and security regulations.
Working together, these roles can accelerate faster access to approved, relevant and higher quality data – and that means more successful use cases, faster speed to insights, and better business outcomes. However, both new information and tools are required to make the shift from defense to offense, reducing data drama while increasing its value.
Join us for this panel discussion with experts in these fields as they discuss:
- Recent research about where data privacy, security and governance stand
- The most valuable enterprise data use cases
- The common obstacles to data value creation
- New approaches to data privacy, security and governance
- Their advice on how to shift from a reactive to resilient mindset/culture/organization
You’ll be educated, entertained and inspired by this panel and their expertise in using the data trifecta to innovate more often, operate more efficiently, and differentiate more strategically.

It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the enterprise mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and data architecture. William will kick off the fifth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
Too often I hear the question “Can you help me with our data strategy?” Unfortunately, for most, this is the wrong request because it focuses on the least valuable component: the data strategy itself. A more useful request is: “Can you help me apply data strategically?” Yes, at early maturity phases the process of developing strategic thinking about data is more important than the actual product! Trying to write a good (must less perfect) data strategy on the first attempt is generally not productive –particularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tyson’s truism: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” This program refocuses efforts on learning how to iteratively improve the way data is strategically applied. This will permit data-based strategy components to keep up with agile, evolving organizational strategies. It also contributes to three primary organizational data goals. Learn how to improve the following:
- Your organization’s data
- The way your people use data
- The way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
This will help in ways never imagined. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Addressing existing challenges programmatically includes overcoming necessary but insufficient prerequisites and developing a disciplined, repeatable means of improving business objectives. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (data strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are also covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why data strategy is necessary for effective data governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective strategic use of data strategy, as well as common pitfalls
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints
- The importance of balancing business operation and innovation
Who Should Own Data Governance – IT or Business?DATAVERSITY
The question is asked all the time: “What part of the organization should own your Data Governance program?” The typical answers are “the business” and “IT (information technology).” Another answer to that question is “Yes.” The program must be owned and reside somewhere in the organization. You may ask yourself if there is a correct answer to the question.
Join this new RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner where Bob will answer the question that is the title of this webinar. Determining ownership of Data Governance is a vital first step. Figuring out the appropriate part of the organization to manage the program is an important second step. This webinar will help you address these questions and more.
In this session Bob will share:
- What is meant by “the business” when it comes to owning Data Governance
- Why some people say that Data Governance in IT is destined to fail
- Examples of IT positioned Data Governance success
- Considerations for answering the question in your organization
- The final answer to the question of who should own Data Governance
This document summarizes a research study that assessed the data management practices of 175 organizations between 2000-2006. The study had both descriptive and self-improvement goals, such as understanding the range of practices and determining areas for improvement. Researchers used a structured interview process to evaluate organizations across six data management processes based on a 5-level maturity model. The results provided insights into an organization's practices and a roadmap for enhancing data management.
MLOps – Applying DevOps to Competitive AdvantageDATAVERSITY
MLOps is a practice for collaboration between Data Science and operations to manage the production machine learning (ML) lifecycles. As an amalgamation of “machine learning” and “operations,” MLOps applies DevOps principles to ML delivery, enabling the delivery of ML-based innovation at scale to result in:
Faster time to market of ML-based solutions
More rapid rate of experimentation, driving innovation
Assurance of quality, trustworthiness, and ethical AI
MLOps is essential for scaling ML. Without it, enterprises risk struggling with costly overhead and stalled progress. Several vendors have emerged with offerings to support MLOps: the major offerings are Microsoft Azure ML and Google Vertex AI. We looked at these offerings from the perspective of enterprise features and time-to-value.
Keeping the Pulse of Your Data – Why You Need Data Observability to Improve D...DATAVERSITY
This document discusses the importance of data observability for improving data quality. It begins with an introduction to data observability and how it works by continuously monitoring data to detect anomalies and issues. This is unlike traditional reactive approaches. Examples are then provided of how unexpected data values or volumes could negatively impact downstream processes but be resolved quicker with data observability alerts. The document emphasizes that data observability allows issues to be identified and addressed before they become costly problems. It promotes data observability as a way to proactively improve data integrity and ensure accurate, consistent data for confident decision making.

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AUTO OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR WITH SOS ALERT FOR HIKING ...JeevanKp7
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) and novel techniques of evaluating treatment efficacy have enhanced the quality of life and decreased healthcare expenses for COPD patients.
The cost of a pulmonary blood gas test is comparable to the cost of two days of oxygen therapy and the cost of a hospital stay is equivalent to the cost of one month of oxygen therapy, long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is a cost-effective technique of treating this disease.
A small number of clinical investigations on LTOT have shown that it improves the quality of life of COPD patients by reducing the loss of their respiratory capacity. A study of 8487 Danish patients found that LTOT for 1524 hours per day extended life expectancy from 1.07 to 1.40 years.

Harnessing Wild and Untamed (Publicly Available) Data for the Cost efficient ...weiwchu
We recently discovered that models trained with large-scale speech datasets sourced from the web could achieve superior accuracy and potentially lower cost than traditionally human-labeled or simulated speech datasets. We developed a customizable AI-driven data labeling system. It infers word-level transcriptions with confidence scores, enabling supervised ASR training. It also robustly generates phone-level timestamps even in the presence of transcription or recognition errors, facilitating the training of TTS models. Moreover, It automatically assigns labels such as scenario, accent, language, and topic tags to the data, enabling the selection of task-specific data for training a model tailored to that particular task. We assessed the effectiveness of the datasets by fine-tuning open-source large speech models such as Whisper and SeamlessM4T and analyzing the resulting metrics. In addition to openly-available data, our data handling system can also be tailored to provide reliable labels for proprietary data from certain vertical domains. This customization enables supervised training of domain-specific models without the need for human labelers, eliminating data breach risks and significantly reducing data labeling cost.

Laura Sebastian-Coleman,
Ph.D., IQCP
Offered by: Connecticut General Life Insurance Company or Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company.
2. About me
• Doing data quality in health care since 2003
• Have worked in banking, manufacturing, distribution,
commercial insurance, and academia.
• All have influenced my understanding of data, quality,
and measurement
• Developed the Data Quality Assessment Framework
(DQAF); published in Measuring Data Quality for
Ongoing Improvement (2013).
• IAIDQ Distinguished Member Award 2015.
• DAMA Publications Director, beginning summer 2015
• Influences on my thinking about data:
• The challenge of how to measure data quality
• The concept of measurement itself: A problems of
measurement is a microcosm of the general
challenge of data definition and collection.
• The demands of data warehousing, especially of data
integration.

9. Definition: Data
• Data’s Latin root is dare, past participle of to give. Data means “something given.” In
math and engineering, the terms data and givens are used interchangeably.
• The New Oxford American Dictionary (NOAD) defines data as “facts and statistics
collected together for reference or analysis.”
• ISO defines data as “re-interpretable representation of information in a formalized
manner suitable for communication, interpretation, or processing” (ISO 11179).
• Observations about the concept of data
– Data tries to tell the truth about the world (“facts”)
– Data is formal – it has a shape
– Data’s function is representational
– Data is often about quantities, measurements, and other numeric
representations “facts”
– Things are done with data: reference, analysis, interpretation, processing
• What the definitions leave out:
– Data is made by people. We choose what characteristics to represent. The creation
of data implies a set of expectations about data’s condition.
– People also use data. The uses of data imply a set of expectations about data’s
condition.

12. Data Quality
• Our ideas about data quality
come largely from science,
even though we create data
based on commerce.
• Today, we are using
organizational data in
scientific ways – to learn
about our business.
• We expect the data to be fit
for this purpose, but we
have not focused on
ensuring representational
effectiveness.

Table 1. Minimum number of the factors affecting decision-making
From Effect of Initial Conditions on Reproducibility of Scientific
Research, by Benjamin Djulbegovic and Iztok Hozo
• Small changes in the initial
conditions of an experiment can
have significant effects on the
outcome of replication attempts.
• Researchers used Doctor/Patient
interactions to study the butterfly
effect and identified 12 factors
that influence clinical decision
making.
• Those initial factors make up
20,480 combinations that could
represent the initial conditions of
the experiment.
• Yes, 20,480! Initial conditions can
influence clinical decision making
and the data that is recorded as
part of it.
