HDAA TOWN HALLS


COVID graphIn March 2020, HDAA responded to the COVID-19 crisis with a series of online discussions to assess the impact on healthcare data (and lack thereof), the immediate need for predictive models, health systems relationship with public health agencies, the impact on healthcare employees and on the profession of healthcare analytics.

We met weekly in the beginning, when data was sparse and tension high, evolving to biweekly and then monthly conversations as the pandemic continued. More than 100 HDAA members contributed to those conversations.

The COVID sessions evolved into HDAA's Town Hall series, periodic presentations or panel discussions on issues of the day that affect healthcare data and analytics. One recurring theme is data and analysis around the health equity issue. Another is the impact of a remote healthcare work force.

Think of the town halls as keynote addresses, often by one of our members, occasionally an outside speaker.
