Synopsis: The health care industry has made dramatic progress in using big
data and analytics to advance the proverbial triple aim – better health,
better care experience and lower costs. From health economics and outcomes
research to value-based contracting and population management, health care
is being challenged to rethink the business of medicine. Technologies such
as cloud computing, high-performance analytics and visual analytics have
redefined what is possible, how fast it can be done and how readily it can
be shared. However, much potential remains untapped because many
organizations lack a culture where people understand, value and demand
fact-based decisions and strategies. See how Analytics plays a leading role
in this evolution.

With all the data being amassed by government agencies and departments there really is a need to rethink and retool the way they collect, manage, archive and use data and the need to break down silos to adapt a more integrated way of sharing information.

TRACK 1: Financing, Branding and Marketing
Jennifer Pacilan
Panel 2Owner/Professional Freelancer Virtual Help Virtual Help is a Digital Marketing Agency that aims to help local and international clients with Web Content Writing, Copywriting, Social Media Management, and Marketing and SEO. It started out as a dream after working in the BPO Industry for more than five (years) and teaching English online and offline to Korean, Chinese and Filipino students. As a single mother to my three (3) growing kids, I wanted to find a work that will allow me to support them while being there for them most of the time. It was the long commute, the not-so-pleasant weather conditions in Manila that prompted me to pack our bags and come home to Davao and find a sustainable job. But to my dismay, the pay I used to receive in the metro weren't the same earnings I had here. So I decided to "befriend" the internet and continued searching for work online. Luckily for me, I stumbled upon an agency that offered work online to Filipino people. It was my 3 years experience in the travel industry (thank you, BPO!) that paved the way to my career in the freelancing world. But after 3 years of working with the agency, I realized there was still so much waiting for me, so I enrolled in training programs which I knew would be helpful as I took on a new path away from my comfort zone. After so many sleepless nights, weighing the pros and cons with my children and several certifications on my wall, Virtual Help was born.
