Scaling up for the genetics and data revolution – Registration and Networking
How do we best build comprehensive mass genetic testing and data platforms? This conference addresses this urgent, burning question for all university hospitals across Europe as new guidelines enforce the roll out of mass genetic testing, particularly in oncology. And university hospitals are also wrestling with the need for population health management systems linking them to primary care.
Building all this capacity is a huge challenge calling for new payor structures, cultural change and new partnerships. This one-day forum looks at what is achievable and at how all this can be delivered.
This forum along with our HBI Strategies for University Hospitals initiative and new editorial platform explores what best practice looks like in these areas, looks at the reality on the ground and digs more deeply into how senior managers are engaging with these issues.

Keynote: What is possible today?
Perhaps the most advanced genetic and population health management in the world is operated by Clalit, an integrated payor/provider that covers 3m Israelis which has had sophisticated electronic patient records for over 20 years. So with the right data, the right culture and the right systems, what is possible today? And what will be possible tomorrow?

Building massive data platforms: lessons and challenges
IT and healthcare are a volatile combination! There is a long history of failed data projects! So how do you best build data platforms that are scalable and deliver the right outcomes? Dementias Platform UK is a world leading medical data platform with research data on 3.5m people and 60 cohort studies which brings together data from a vast range of sources including imaging, medical health records and the genome. John looks at what he has learnt since 2014. How do you best build such a platform and what are the mistakes to avoid?
