Hospitals: Use Data, Stop Value Leakage

Healthcare organisations have spent decades building data infrastructures. They collect, secure, and govern vast amounts of clinical information. Yet turning that information into measurable improvement remains out of reach for most. The result: value leakage, each and every day.
The discussion centres on how hospitals turn the data they already hold into continuous and measurable improvement.
Value leakage is the continuing cost of what an organisation could learn from its data, but does not.
Drawing on real-world cases, Galaznik discusses:
- Why unused “dark data” becomes a liability for hospitals
- How governed self-service puts data in the hands of the people closest to the problem
- What happens when insights change practice: nearly $8 million in projected savings, length of stay reduced by a third, readmissions cut by almost 50 percent
- How synthetic data accelerates research feasibility and AI development
- And how the ADAMS framework (Ask, Discover, Act, Measure, Share) closes the loop from insight to action
At a time of rising clinical complexity, demographic change, and persistent workforce shortages, hospitals must make better use of the data they already possess.
