PRESENTATION TOPIC:
Healthcare CIOs remain under pressure as they manage enterprise-wide programs such Meaningful Use, ACO’s and Population Health while continuing to drive towards achievement of the larger organizational strategies. Navigating the path forward will remain challenging, at best, as these programs vie for IT resources, time and funding. Then there’s the ever-present threat of pre- and post-payment CMS audits, which are sending a clear message—compliance is expected.

This presentation includes the unique perspectives of two seasoned healthcare industry leaders who will engage in a dialogue about the measures that healthcare organizations should be undertaking now to not only achieve compliance with the myriad of regulatory initiatives, but also to build a solid foundation for meeting the goals of the Triple Aim while moving your organization to a programmatic approach owned by all key stakeholders.
