Advancing Healthcare Through Data and Analytics
Since 2001, HDAA has united healthcare data professionals around a single purpose — to make healthcare better through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the intelligent use of data.
What We Stand For
Our mission guides everything we do — from the content we produce to the community we build.
To facilitate greater use of analytical information systems that help lower healthcare costs, improve quality of care, and improve patient satisfaction and safety.
To advance the state of healthcare data warehousing and analytics by applying lessons and experience from other industries.
To influence vendors — the fairness of their pricing, the quality of their products, their willingness to share our risk, and their understanding of issues unique to healthcare.
To facilitate the development of standards for data definitions, data models, and measurement methodologies that can be shared across organizations.
To provide educational opportunities and resources that advance the skills and knowledge of healthcare analytics professionals at all career stages.
To build a trusted community where practitioners can openly share successes and failures, enabling collective growth across the profession.
How HDAA Accomplishes Its Mission
We keep things simple, collaborative, and focused on what matters — the practitioner.
By creating a collegial atmosphere of friends that share lessons learned — both successes and failures. None of us is smarter than all of us.
By sponsoring monthly conference calls with peers dedicated to sharing information and collaborating throughout the year.
By sponsoring an annual conference for intense learning and professional development — bringing thousands of practitioners together each fall.
By providing a web site with tools to collaborate — including a tools inventory, discussion forums, and a reference library of resources.
By focusing on simplicity and minimizing organizational overhead — so our energy goes toward members, not administration.
By collaborating — not competing — with HIMSS, AMIA, and other professional groups to serve the broader healthcare analytics community.
Be Part of the Mission
We raise our collective voices, design programs, and educate each other to improve patient and family outcomes. It is complex, hard work — but the professional and personal rewards are unparalleled.
