SDoH (Social Determinants of Health) is one of the more important topics in healthcare right now. It’s become such an important topic as healthcare organizations start getting paid based on how well they take care of a population of patients as opposed to getting paid for the services they render. Join our panel of experts as we have an open discussion on how organizations can use social determinant data. We’ll talk about the practical challenges associated with SDoH and where we see SDoH really making a difference.

Far too often in health IT we talk about the doctors, but not enough about the nurses who are some of the most important healthcare IT users. We’re planning to help remedy that problem at this great meetup focused on The Nurses Voice. Join our expert panel for a well-rounded discussion about the role of nurses in healthcare IT. We’ll discuss how to incorporate nurses in the work we do and examples of how we can better collaborate with nurses to deliver safer care and better engage patients.

The reality of every healthcare CIO is that they have multiple systems in the cloud. In fact, most organizations are deploying a mix of private and public clouds across their organization.

Come and join the discussion about living in a multi-cloud world and how you and your organization can deal with the costs and challenges associated with it.

Is your communication system a competitive advantage or a disadvantage to your organization?

We’ll dive into the question of where IoT is really useful and how healthcare organizations can be prepared for this deluge of health data and devices.
