The Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum

Tue, 06/04/2013 - Wed, 06/05/2013

Healthcare IT News and HIMSS Media, the industry’s leading sources for news and leadership in healthcare information technology, have joined forces to present the Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum. This two-day event in the nation’s capital will gather leading providers, industry experts, solutions suppliers and key government officials.

Our Goal: to help hospital CIOs, CFOs, VPs of quality and other senior healthcare professionals leverage analytics to improve clinical and financial performance across the board.

As reimbursement shrinks and risk sharing grows, analyzing data to improve decision-making may well determine the winners and losers in this new healthcare landscape. That’s where the forum comes in. Through interviews with hospital CIOs and other providers, we know that questions abound about how to deploy analytics in a fashion that meets an organization’s business and clinical goals. With that in mind, we have designed the Big Data and Healthcare Analytics Forum to provide answers to those questions. Sessions will focus on peer-to-peer learning, case studies and best practices—practical, actionable information that can be taken home and put to use.

The World Congress 4th Annual Leadership Summit on Health Insurance Exchanges (HIXs)

Mon, 07/15/2013 - Wed, 07/17/2013

Health Insurance Exchanges (HIXs), or “marketplaces,” have kicked into high gear to prepare for October enrollment. Each state has chosen its model – State-Based (SBE), State-Partnership (SPE), or Federally-Facilitated (FFE). Yet, even among states with the same model, important differences in operations and outreach are likely. With each state in a different stage of readiness and the full details of the FFE not yet disclosed, health plans executives and other stakeholders must operate in a state of uncertainty as they undergo QHP certification and prepare for an unprecedented level of consumer transparency.

The World Congress 4th Annual Leadership Summit on Health Insurance Exchanges features a timely agenda focused on leveraging current “knowns” and progress to derive practical strategies for successful future participation in HIXs. Health plan executives, state and federal exchange officials, providers, and other policy experts convene to discuss business and operational considerations in a changing marketplace.

The 4th Annual Leadership Summit on Health Insurance Exchanges is co-located with the Annual Leadership Summits on Medicare, Medicaid, and Managed Markets. Attendees participate in shared keynote sessions and dynamic discussions on overlapping issues currently impacting the industry. Benefit from ample time to network with top industry leaders and speakers from all four events. A distinguished faculty of industry leaders will provide critical insights and updates on the progress of exchanges, and explore solutions to overcome challenges including:

  • Understanding the status and progress of the FFE
  • Defining characteristics for succeeding in each exchange model
  • Optimizing health plan participation and offerings on exchanges
  • Raising awareness and engaging newly-eligible consumers on the exchange
  • Streamlining the enrollment and eligibility determination process
  • Overcoming challenges in data sharing between the federal hub and states

The Privacy & Security Forum

Mon, 09/23/2013 - Tue, 09/24/2013

Healthcare IT News and HIMSS Media, the industry’s leading sources for news and leadership in healthcare information technology, have joined forces to create The Privacy & Security Forum. This conference comes at a critical time. In research conducted earlier this year with a select group of hospital CIOs and IT executives, no issue consistently generated more concern than privacy and security.

At hospitals, physician practices, integrated delivery networks and other healthcare facilities, CIOs and IT executives face a wide range of security issues and challenges.

  • Breaches have become an almost daily news event
  • Mobile device security, led by the proliferation of smartphones and tablets – from both clinicians and patients – are growing and becoming more complex
  • HIPAA privacy and security compliance continues to challenge and confound many executives and their IT departments

The Privacy & Security Forum will address these issues, and others, by providing a collaborative environment where health IT professionals, industry thought leaders and key government officials can interact and learn from one another.
