Hidden in Plain Text: Turning Clinical Notes into Structured Data and Value

Turn the clinical data already captured in your EMR into new workflows, insights, and data products.

Healthcare organizations capture enormous amounts of valuable information in clinical notes, referrals, reports, and other unstructured data, but much of it remains difficult to use beyond the point of care.

In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how Canadian healthcare teams can transform that information into structured data for two practical use cases:

Billing: supporting more efficient and complete billing workflows from clinical documentation

Real-World Evidence: creating structured datasets for outcomes analysis, research, and life sciences partnerships

We’ll demonstrate how clinical text can be transformed into structured healthcare data, then participants will work in teams to design a real-world billing or RWE workflow for a fictional Canadian EMR.

The session is designed for leaders and practitioners working across AI, product, data, engineering, analytics, and real-world evidence. No deep technical expertise is required.
