2018 Nursing Knowledge: Big Data Science Conference – June 13-15 2018, University of Minneapolis, Minnesota

Champ Software is a proud sponsor of this University of Minnesota School of Nursing event.

The Nursing Knowledge Big Data Science Initiative’s purpose is to share a vision and actions to achieve better health outcomes resulting from the standardization and  integration of the information nurses gather in electronic health records and other information systems, which is increasingly the source of insights and evidence used to prevent, diagnose, treat and evaluate health conditions. The addition of contextual data about patients, including environmental, geographical, behavioral, imaging, and more, will lead to breakthroughs for the health of individuals, families, communities and populations.

The Focus of the conference is on learning about accomplishments of the 10 virtual workgroups, how it applies to your work, and how you can contribute to the future of this national Nursing Knowledge and Big Data Science Initiative. The conference is open to all who have an interest in advancing the alignment and use of health data for improved health outcomes and research. Now in its sixth year, the conference brings together policy and thought leaders in health care, government, the private sector, education and advocacy organizations to learn from one another and advance an action plan for sharable, comparable data.
