Jena, MD PhD leverages “natural experiments” using big data to change the way we see and broaden the way we think.

Alkire, President of Premier, and Dr. Jena will explore how healthcare data that makes you think differently impacts clinical assumptions and the corresponding impact to patient lives. You’ll hear how Dr. Jena, frequent Freakonomics® speaker, has discovered hidden correlations under the data you wouldn’t expect. In fact, Dr. Jena has even used Premier® data in his findings.
