  • To propose a strategic role for the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) in fostering this data-driven culture.

Main Methods:

  • The study suggests expanding the scope of IMIA's Working Group on Data Mining and Big Data Analysis.
  • Proposed areas of focus include healthcare data analytics, big data tools, bridging IT and data technology, and data quality.
  • This expansion aims to equip IMIA to lead the promotion of data-driven practices in healthcare globally.

Main Results:

  • The integration of ICT in healthcare has led to an unprecedented surge in data generation.
  • There is a critical need for healthcare organizations to adopt a data-centric approach to operations and strategy.
  • IMIA is positioned to spearhead the global adoption of data-driven methodologies in health informatics.

Conclusions:

  • Recognizing data as a strategic asset and fostering a data-driven culture are paramount for modern healthcare institutions.
  • The International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) should proactively lead efforts to promote data analytics and quality in healthcare.
  • Expanding IMIA's working group mandates will enhance its capacity to address the evolving landscape of health data technology.
