Bridging the Gap: Advancing Healthcare Through Data Democratization and Synthetic Data Innovation
November 17, 2025 | 7:00 – 8:00 am
Join us for a thought-provoking Industry Roundtable exploring how leading health systems are leveraging data democratization and synthetic data to accelerate innovation, improve access, and safeguard privacy. Julie Johnson, PhD, MPH, RN, from University of Chicago Medicine, will share how intuitive, self-service access to governed data is empowering clinicians and researchers to independently explore insights, improve operations, and drive research from the front lines—without requiring technical expertise or programming skills. Adam Wilcox, PhD, Professor of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis, will spotlight the critical role of synthetic data in unlocking safe, scalable, and collaborative data use—enabling healthcare organizations to accelerate AI development and multi-institutional research without compromising patient privacy. Drawing on their recently published work, Drs. Johnson and Wilcox will offer practical strategies for bridging the gap between academic research and clinical operations—paving the way for responsible and accessible data use across the healthcare ecosystem. Join us for breakfast and a powerful discussion on building the future of healthcare with smarter, safer data.

Defining the Future: Value Sets for Scalable, Trusted Healthcare Analytics
November 17, 2025 | 12:20 – 1:50 p.m.
Join us for an interactive roundtable focused on building and applying reliable value sets to drive meaningful outcomes across the healthcare ecosystem. Informatics teams are increasingly tasked with enabling vendors, EHR platforms, life sciences organizations, and payers to generate high-quality, actionable analytics. While EHRs play a central role in capturing clinical data, they often lack the flexibility, governance structures, and cross-organizational alignment needed to support scalable, standardized value set development.
Reliable value sets—grounded in consistent definitions and terminology—are essential for improving clinical decision support, accelerating research, optimizing population health strategies, and ensuring regulatory compliance. This session will explore practical strategies for curating and validating value sets outside the constraints of individual EHR systems, aligning them with evolving standards, and leveraging AI responsibly to enhance data integrity. Participants will share real-world insights and best practices for enabling scalable, trustworthy analytics that support better care delivery, operational efficiency, and strategic planning.
Target Audience
CIOs, Chief Analytics Officers, Chief Research Officers, Chief Data Officers, Population Health Leaders, VPs/Directors of Digital Health Platforms, and anyone passionate about healthcare data quality, value set curation, and analytics enablement.
