Yet this potential is frequently limited by fr agmented data pipelines\, inconsistent clinical semantics\, incomplete pro venance\, and uncertain fitness-for-use. The CIRCULATE consortium\, paired with the Provem platform\, were created to address these challenges throu gh an integrated ecosystem that turns raw RWD into decision-ready assets. \n\nThis talk will describe how Provem and the CIRCULATE consortium operat ionalizes a pragmatic “AI for Health” mindset: starting with data provenan ce and quality signals\, enabling interoperability through ontology-based harmonization\, and supporting clinical trajectory reconstruction (hospita l stays\, transitions\, and longitudinal care pathways). We will present h ow pathway discovery (clustering\, labeling\, and phenotyping of stays/tra jectories) is combined with knowledge-based standardization\, and how a hu man-in-the-loop workflow supports validation\, traceability\, and clinical relevance of AI algorithms. Finally\, we will highlight how the ecosystem creates a continuous transparency loop so that improvements to data gover nance and data production directly translate into more reliable analytics and AI capabilities.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nAt the end of this talk\, a ttendees will be able to:\n\n\n Present the limitations of RWD for AI: data quality\, bias\, and recognize what “realistic expectations” look like in clinical settings\;\n Present the evaluation of a responsible AI system th at identifies and convert patterns in EHR data into clinically useful info rmation for decision support and cost analysis\;\n Understand the operation alized responsible\, and scalable analytics by combining data-driven pathw ay discovery with knowledge-based standardization while keeping human-in-t he-loop for algorithm validation.\n\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nJean-Noël Nikiema is an Assistant Professor at the Université de Montréal School of Public Hea lth (ESPUM)\, a regular researcher at the Centre de recherche en santé pub lique (UdeM–CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal)\, a researcher with OBVIA (Sustainable Health Axis)\, and Co-Director of LabTNS\, focused on digital transformation in health\, and co responsible of the infrastructur e axe at Québec Digital Health Network. His research centers on the real-w orld conditions required for successful health innovation\, data quality\, interoperability\, governance\, organizational impact\, and uptake in pra ctice settings\, to support learning health systems aligned with operation al constraints. His training integrates clinical\, public health\, and inf ormatics perspectives: MD (Université Nazi Boni)\, MSc in Public Health-Me dical Informatics (Université de Bordeaux)\, PhD in Public Health-Informat ics and Health (Université de Bordeaux)\, followed by postdoctoral trainin g at CHUM. Prior to joining ESPUM\, he was research visiting scholar at th e U.S. National Library of Medicine.\n DTSTART:20260126T203000Z DTEND:20260126T213000Z SUMMARY:From Data to Decisions: Building a Data-Quality Ecosystem for Clini cal Decision Support and Care Pathway Analytics URL:/spgh/channels/event/data-decisions-building-data- quality-ecosystem-clinical-decision-support-and-care-pathway-analytics-370 260 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
