Good surfers are the consummate analysts. They dynamically process streams of seemingly unrelated information bypassing lesser opportunities, then strategically selecting the perfect wave. The ability to tease out genuine opportunities amidst a tumult of noise is a hallmark of great analysts. By viewing these slides you will learn: - The human elements of a great analyst. - How to re-frame the role of technology in analysis. - Healthcare knowledge required to maximize the value of a healthcare analyst. John Wadsworth's (Senior Vice President of Client Engagement, Health Catalyst) engaging presentation style leverages simple and fun analogies to galvanize key concepts for technical, clinical, and executive audiences alike. Join us as he brings principles from the world of surfing and applies them to healthcare analytics.
