HHS & CMS to Speak on Federal HIT Initiatives at Healthcare IT Summit
 
Sept. 11, 2012 - PRLog -- The 8th Annual World Healthcare Innovation and Technology Congress is pleased to announce Bryan Sivak, Chief Technology Officer, US Department of Health and Human Services to keynote on Friday, November 9, 2012 on “Federal HIT Initiatives to Accelerate the Movement from Volume to Value Based Care”.

The keynote panel will also include: Niall Brennan, Director, Policy and Data Analysis Group from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 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 health care 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
