Predictive Analytics at OSF

Chris Franciskovich, Manager Advanced Analytics, and Mark Hohulin, SVP Healthcare Analytics, OSF Innovation, OSF HealthCare System. Defining a healthcare data science strategy can be daunting. Do you build internal capacity or buy services as needed? How do you find and retain talent? Can an internal team really produce enough value to make it worth the cost and time? What’s required to get started? At OSF Healthcare, we built an Advanced Analytics team, with statisticians and data scientists, more than five years ago and have learned a lot along the way. In this candid session, we share what we’ve learned and highlight some key project successes, along with lessons learned.
