Practice Analytics Summit 2024

About

Practice analytics explores how data in healthcare can be leveraged to support practitioners in their professional learning and development. By selecting, scaffolding, and sharing appropriate data with practitioners, key stakeholders are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and practical tools required to unlock data-driven insights that would otherwise be unseen.

Building on the success of previous summits, the 2024 event brings together another innovating group of keynote speakers, PhD candidates, industry thought leaders, and academics. For the first time, the summit will have themed towards the integration of AI within practice analytics.

The summit will feature keynote presentations from Associate Professor Martin Pusic (Harvard Medical School) and Dr Simon Kos (Microsoft ANZ).
