Bryan Sivak, HHS Chief Technology Officer to deliver the keynote address Friday, November 9th, 2012 on “Federal HIT Initiatives to Accelerate the Movement from Volume to Value Based Care”. This vital and important keynote address and panel discussion will be featured at the 8th Annual World Healthcare Innovation and Technology Congress to be held in Washington D.C. at the Ritz Carlton in Pentagon City November 7-9, 2012.
The keynote panel will also include: Niall Brennan, Director, Policy and Data Analysis Group from CMS and Joshua Rosenthal, Co-founder and CSO from RowdMap.
This highly interactive games-based session will convene government and private sector thought leaders to:
- Separate buzz from fact by accessing how both healthcare market leaders and their members and patients are changing the way they ‘play’
- Discuss how payer and health system management can pivot to take advantage of the new profit paradigm by using simple, top-down, ‘tiny’ data structure to:
----Gain visibility to make better bets
----Improve accountability to better manage vendors
----Move quickly and avoid IT implementation clusters
----Change business value in a ‘perverse’ market
