At a time when public health policy affects the daily lives of nearly all Americans, accurate, secure and insightful data are more important than ever.
Experts who gathered online for the inaugural Finger Lakes Health Data Conference say the 14-county region continues to lead the nation in many respects, while also grappling with new challenges from rapidly changing technologies and skyrocketing data volumes.
More than 100 public health officials, researchers, business leaders and others from across the region joined the half-day event. It opened with a keynote address from Joshua R. Vest, PhD, MPH, an internationally-known health services researcher.
