Leveraging Unstructured Health Data: Insights from emtelligent’s CEO
by Tim O'Connell
Vancouver, BC – emtelligent’s CEO was recently featured in Forbes Technology Council with an article on leveraging unstructured health data to bridge the gap between data strategy and execution.
From Vision to Action
In the article, the CEO explains why simply having a data strategy isn’t enough. Healthcare systems must be able to extract and structure clinical information from free-text sources like physician notes, discharge summaries, and imaging reports. Technologies such as generative AI, private large language models (LLMs), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) are key to transforming this data into usable insights.
The article also stresses the importance of interoperability. Adopting standards like FHIR and Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) helps ensure that structured data can move securely and seamlessly between systems, supporting better outcomes and compliance.
Why It Matters
With rising costs, clinician burnout, and increasing complexity across the care continuum, healthcare organizations face growing pressure to do more with less. The ability to leverage unstructured data is no longer optional—it’s critical for efficiency, patient care, and sustainable operations.
