I was not able to attend this year's SAS Global Forum, but have had a chance to browse the numerous session papers as well as enjoy some live content. The conference page has a searchable catalog and for each paper you will find links to similar sessions in the sidebar. There were around 5000 attendees at this year's conference and over 600 papers. For a 2 1/2 day conference that's more than 200 papers to cover per day. Below is a selection of some papers related to healthcare analytics. If we widen the search to include papers related to other fields, but applications in healthcare analtyics the selection would probably double. I'm sure I missed something, and would be glad to know if you had a favorite paper or presentation you'd like to share in the comments.

SAS1951 - Using SAS® Text Analytics to Examine Labor and Delivery Sentiments on the Internet In today’s society, where seemingly unlimited information is just a mouse click away, many turn to social media, forums, and medical websites to research and understand how mothers feel about the birthing process. Mining the data in these resources helps provide an understanding of what mothers value and how they feel. This paper shows the use of SAS® Text Analytics to gather, explore, and analyze reports from mothers to determine their sentiment about labor and delivery topics. Results of this analysis could aid in the design and development of a labor and delivery survey and be used to understand what characteristics of the birthing process yield the highest levels of importance. These resources can then be used by labor and delivery professionals to engage with mothers regarding their labor and delivery preferences. View Less 20 minutes Breakout Michael Wallis
