HIMSS Unveils Full Speaker Lineup of Top Executives for Pop Health Forum 2016
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 19, 2016 -- HIMSS announced today that top executives from Geisinger Healthcare System, Intermountain Healthcare, and OpenNotes will headline the Pop Health Forum 2016, the nation’s leading event for healthcare organizations tackling analytics, care coordination and patient engagement, which kicks off at the Westin Boston Waterfront, May 19, 2016.
Sponsored by Caradigm, IBM Watson Health, Jvion, mPulse, and Your Care Universe, the two-day Pop Health Forum 2016 features 34 renowned topic experts from leading institutions, including Mayo Clinic, Partners HealthCare, Sutter Health, Yale New Haven Health System, and others. Attendees can choose from 27 thought leadership sessions, and seven unique networking opportunities – all designed to provide attendees with pop health best practices, actionable strategies, and business solutions they can implement at their own organization.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has set a goal to have 50 percent of Medicare payments in alternative or population-based payment models by 2018. And as more hospitals and providers face penalties for high readmissions, there’s been an increased focus on population health efforts. But for many, this is uncharted territory, and the challenges around how to begin the transition, or even ensure success, are real. The HIMSS Pop Health Forum 2016 will help attendees tackle those challenges head on.
“As U.S. healthcare continues its shift toward value-based care models, we’ve seen population health efforts evolve to take center stage nationwide. But for those navigating this new territory, thought-leadership resources are sparse,” said John Whelan, Executive Vice President, HIMSS Media. “To address this gap, we’ve designed the Pop Health Forum – the only event of its kind that gives attendees business-critical insights they need to develop a solid population health foundation, and to ensure sustained success throughout the course.”
The HIMSS Pop Health Forum 2016 in Boston brings together pop health experts from leading organizations who will share key insights on ACOs; analytics; care coordination; chronic disease management; OpenNotes; patient engagement; predictive analytics; selecting a pop health vendor; and more.
