Recorded live in Chicago before an audience of HC3 members and partners, this third installment of Season 3 of the HC3 Podcast brings listeners inside the Q3 Summit: Transforming Health Through Data and Analytics. Hosted in-person at MATTER, the event united leaders from public health, informatics, investment, and provider organizations to explore how data can power smarter, more equitable care.
The episode opens with The Future of Public Health Data panel, moderated by Ashley DeGarmo (Third Horizon), featuring Roy Ahn (NORC), Heather Blonsky (Metopio), Dr. Alfreda Holloway (Cook County Department of Public Health), and Shelly Sital (AllianceChicago). Together, they highlight how collaboration and “trust in the math” can turn public health data into action.
In a Fireside Chat on Clinical Data Sharing, David Smith (Third Horizon) and Michael Barbouche (Forward Health Group) discuss the progress and pitfalls of interoperability, the role of AI, and the path toward a patient-centered data ecosystem.
David Smith's Keynote Price Transparency and the Future of Health Care, reveals how new regulations and open data are reshaping markets and accelerating value-based care.
The episode closes with Bright Ideas in Data-Driven Innovation, hosted by Steven Collens of MATTER, featuring entrepreneurs from Joystik Life, Care Vitality, ION Stewards Energy, and MindMetrix—each reimagining healthcare through bold, data-powered innovation.
