#238 Data & AI for Improving Patient Outcomes with Terry Myerson, CEO at Truveta

One of the prerequisites for being able to do great data analyses is that the data is well structured and clean and high quality. For individual projects, this is often annoying to get right. On a corporate level, it’s often a huge blocker to productivity. And then there’s healthcare data. When you consider all the healthcare records across the USA, or any other country for that matter, there are so many data formats created by so many different organizations, it’s frankly a horrendous mess. This is a big problem because there’s a treasure trove of data that researchers and analysts can’t make use of to answer questions about which medical interventions work or not. Bad data is holding back progress on improving everyone’s health.Terry Myerson is the CEO and Co-Founder of Truveta. Truveta enables scientifically rigorous research on more than 18% of the clinical care in the U.S. from a growing collective of more than 30 health systems.
