Without data management, forget AI and machine learning in health care

Data management gets lost in the enthusiasm around Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Not surprising, when it's an algorithm that decides what search results to show you, guides the self-driving cars on the roads, and powers the anti-fraud bots that monitor every credit card transaction we make. Charles Christian of the Indiana Health Information Exchange speaks for many of us when he asks: "Why can't we do that in healthcare?" Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies across the country have been slow to adopt these advanced analytics. Is our industry somehow special? Or are we just more set in our ways?
