Noah Locke
As healthcare marketers, we’ve always been a bit behind when it comes to digital trends. Data and analytics are no different, and in 2019 the team at UW Health took a hard look at the data we were collecting. For years we had used Google Analytics as “catch-all”, dumping every click event into a massive bucket that no one wanted to sift through. Our clients seemed to only care about “hits” to their web pages, and no real strategy was in place to maximize the insights that were hidden amidst the mountain of data. In early 2020, the UW Health team decided it was time to switch gears and form a real data and analytics strategy that would carry them towards their goal of driving patient volume using digital tactics.
In this session, learn how to make Google Analytics work for you, not against you via the following:
Bryanna Pardoe
Three years ago Geisinger started on an evolution to become a digital-first organization for marketing efforts, and with that, reporting and analytics became more important than ever. It started with copying and pasting between Excel spreadsheets and rapidly evolved into dashboards built in Tableau that demonstrate end-to-end lead to customer attribution.
In this session, we’ll talk about:
Mike McMaster
The healthcare industry is a complex space comprised of a growing number of healthcare payors, providers, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device companies. This diverse landscape of companies is united by the common purpose of improving patient outcomes. Whether trying to reach businesses, clinics, doctors, or patients, navigating this complex landscape while building meaningful and effective connections throughout the customer journey is challenging as marketers must work with disparate data sources and platforms to measure the impact of their activities and campaign.
In this session, learn how marketing intelligence can help you optimize marketing channels and drive positive patient experiences through the following:
Jenny Bristow
A lot of marketers talk about analytics, but do they really understand the technical work behind the scenes? In this session, Jenny will dive into how analytics tools actually work, explaining concepts and terms such as business intelligence, reports, analytics, data warehouse, ETL, and much more.

Don't worry - even if you're a seasoned marketing analytics pro, we promise you'll walk away with deeper knowledge and understanding of how all of the tools you use work together after this session!

Session Takeaways:
Brett Lohmeyer
You, yes you, can be up-and-running in the data-driven programming language R in just a few minutes making predictions and forecasts on your company’s real Google Analytics data. This is not for data scientists, machine learning analysts, or software developers. This is for the rest of us. People that have used Excel but don’t have experience with developing software.
There is a big push back in the data science community in the last few years on people without PhDs in statistics using machine learning. I think it is because many professionals are scared. They are scared because improvements in easy-to-use and 100% free programming languages are making it easy for anyone to do basic statistical analysis and machine learning and could eliminate their jobs.
I have the opposite opinion. Giving everyone a taste of how easy it is to the basics will increase people wanting to leverage data scientists to do the really, really cool stuff!
In this presentation, I will review the following:
Maria Abrar
The best way to convert data into dollar value is understanding the customer more than the customer knows himself. How do we predict the customer’s next action with the best accuracy? How can we move the needle from low value to higher value? How do we predict the near future, segment the customer into a perfect profile, and recommend the next best offer? By utilizing the best practices of data science.
