Data Quality as the Engine of Healthcare
- Date: Monday, February 3
- Time: 2:30–3:10 p.m. PST
- Location: Malibu Stage
Healthcare leaders are drowning in data but starving for insights that actually change behavior. The gap between collecting quality metrics and using them to drive measurable improvements in structural measures, efficiency, utilization, process outcomes, and clinical results has never been wider. The reality of 2026 is that data quality isn’t just a technical problem, it’s the cornerstone of everything from AI success to employee engagement to provider performance measurement. Organizations like NCQA and Joint Commission are developing tiered certification frameworks and next-generation measures, but real innovation is happening at health systems learning to activate people through data, not just report it. This means moving beyond dashboards that display metrics to messaging strategies that drive change, building enterprise analytics teams that can cleanse pipelines and strengthen interoperability, and creating governance structures ensuring data is reliable before it informs care decisions or trains predictive models. Without standardized, well-governed data infrastructure, AI tools fail and quality improvement initiatives stall at the “so what?” stage.
