4 Keynote Speakers to Explore Healthcare’s Challenges at CHIME HIMSS CIO Forum
ANN ARBOR, MI, Jan. 16, 2019 – Four dynamic keynote speakers will offer valuable knowledge and inspiring messages from their personal and professional experiences on Feb. 11 at the 2019 CHIME HIMSS CIO Forum in Orlando, Fla. Hosted by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), the forum will feature:
- Vivek H. Murthy, MD, the 19th surgeon general of the United States
- Claire Pomeroy, MD, MBA, president and CEO of the Lasker Foundation
- Neil Jacobstein, chair of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Track at Singularity University and a distinguished visiting scholar at Stanford University Media X Program
- Kristina and Kate Sheridan, a mother-daughter duo who will share their professional and personal journey in our healthcare system
“Our speakers will provide a connected path for attendees to travel that will move from a global view of the state of healthcare to new research on the underlying determinants of health and care,” said Tim Stettheimer, vice president for education at CHIME. “From there, they will introduce new and developing technologies that will change how we advance health IT in 2019 and beyond. And as we complete our path of learning, we will deepen our understanding and commitment to change with a renewed motivation for personal leadership in the year to come.”
Murthy served as the 19th surgeon general of the United States from December 2014 to April 2017. As surgeon general, he made innovation and improving health his top priorities. He will talk about the state of healthcare today, setting the foundation for the speakers who follow.
Pomeroy, an expert in infectious diseases and a long-time advocate for patients, has used her experiences as a child in foster care to inform her approach to improving health and care. Her presentation will focus on the underlying social determinants of health.
Jacobstein will explore how augmentation and AI are transforming healthcare. He will explain what augmentation is, why it matters, and where it is headed, providing examples of artificial intelligence and augmentation applications in action.
Kristina Sheridan combines her experience as a caregiver of chronic pediatric patients and systems engineering to help the healthcare and IT communities develop and provide tools to manage the care of complex patients. Kate Sheridan is a patient empowerment advocate who survived complex chronic conditions and is now pursuing a career in healthcare. They will tell the powerful story of their healthcare journey, what they learned along the way and how patients and caregivers can be empowered in the care process.
The CHIME HIMSS CIO Forum will take place Feb. 10-11 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando Hotel in Orlando. More information about the forum and registration is available here.
