Creating Data Driven Change in our Public Sector

I this episode I am delighted to continue my conversation with Adam Townsend, founder of Viewit DataLabs Limited. Today we look beyond the data and consider the drivers for improving patient outcomes in hospital. We consider why is the system driven away from improving patient outcomes before people get to the hospital. One of the metrics that we talk about are hospital stays for respiratory conditions and diabetes that are less than 24 hours long – in the UK at least 300, 000 such hospital stays have been recorded. Many, possibly all, could have been prevented. We talk about the dilemmas for the healthcare system of balancing reactive and proactive stances. We also talk about the power of AI when coupled with the kind of data lakes that Adam has created. Adam talks as well about the fascinating journey that led him to create Viewit DataLabs
