Learn more about what awaits you at the 2014 conference here.

Why do you think the Datapalooza health has increased so rapidly since its creation in 2010?

A health reasons Datapalooza has really taken off since its creation in 2010 is the recognition of the power that health data open holds for patients, providers, researchers, developers and healthcare entrepreneurs -. really the entire healthcare continuum

From June 2010, the leaders of the federal health, academic and government convened to advance the use of what was considered "health data Community ", and now the concept of sharing information on health is a common dialogue within the health care system. It is more a question of" if "but" how. "How can we ensure the open health data is shared responsibility in accordance with corporate standards and policies? This is a major concern of the Consortium of health data, and much of the dialogue in the health Datapalooza centers around these key issues.

How the 2014 event differs from its predecessors in terms of programming and more conversations about health care?

the landscape of health care is now changing rapidly. With the continued implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the data is more important than ever. More patients enter the responsible care organizations (ACOs), which require safe and sustainable data sharing across a health system or, as some have described, the medical area of ​​a patient. The health care system focuses on quality improvement and monitoring measures, and are working to advance the field as a whole. These changes to the health care system will be presented prominently on Health Datapalooza. We will hear various stakeholders - from private industry to government - on how the changes are implemented and how the data is leading the process

New to the health program Datapalooza this year is the way research .. We added this to provide more rigorous academic element analysis of the impact and the best uses of big data and public health data resources to research. The implications of data on research in health will also be discussed in a speech NIH Director Francis Collins, MD, Ph.D., who will speak on the agenda of research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

We are also seeing a surge of innovation inspired and driven by the output data sets from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and others. The a-Palooza code Data Consortium Health is an excellent example of how these data sets are used to challenge the coders, developers, researchers, clinicians, patient advocates and entrepreneurs to create the next breakthroughs in technology Health care.

the "Apps Expo" is one of the most anticipated events of HDP. Are there specific topics or current topics you expect to emerge during the Expo and this year's competition?

Based on the current health care environment, we expect to see App Demos that utilize address data quality improvements, data and file systems electronic integration health, consumer health and management tools, including decision making. Consumers today are much more engaged and involved in their own health than they once were, so I think it's safe to say that the tools of decision making will be a hot topic to look out for this year. We are also pleased to see applications that rely on some of the latest technology available, such as Google Glass.

Health Datapalooza, and the App Demos in particular, are channels through which people can see first hand the immense opportunities that come with sharing of health data and begin to catalyze progress in this area .
