As PCSI 2025 concludes, we reflect on a week that highlighted the power of international collaboration in shaping the future of healthcare data.
Rather than summarising presentations, the key insights can be framed around what’s next for health systems worldwide:
-
Scaling automation safely
Hospitals in Australia, the UK, and Canada are demonstrating that autonomous coding can be introduced in a transparent, iterative and locally adaptable way. This gives coding teams confidence while helping systems reduce manual workload.
-
Moving benchmarking into the future
Predictive forecasting is already reframing how hospitals think about safety and quality. With 11 models now live across 188 hospitals in Australia, health leaders can set proactive targets and scenario-test strategies to ensure they are fit for the future.
-
Raising data quality standards in Canada
Through a major coding audit and education initiative across Canadian hospitals, Beamtree is helping raise national data standards and drive smarter performance benchmarking. With the launch of PICQ® Canada, we’re now delivering continuous coding assurance and tailored education to support consistent, high-quality coding across the health system.

Creating system-wide insights in Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia, a co-design approach with CNHI and Lean is showing how agreed national indicators and real-time dashboards can unlock greater value from coded data. By linking coding quality to safety, population health, and system performance reporting, the initiative is driving smarter use of data and embedding quality improvement across the health system.
What unites these insights?
A clear recognition that better data leads to better care.
Discussions at PCSI highlighted the growing demand for timely, accurate data to drive system performance and improvement. They also reinforced the importance of international collaboration, as a practical way to share knowledge, adapt indicators, and improve care globally.
Beamtree leaves Québec energised by the partnerships formed and excited for the opportunities ahead.
