The Trillion Dollar Question or Finding Your Way Through the Clouds of Health Care Reform

Consulting Roundtable

July 22, 2010: 5:45 PM - 8:00 PM

It’s the trillion dollar question: What should health care look like in the USA and how do we get there? What are the ongoing issues, challenges, and what is likely to change in the Health Care Industry with pending legislation and emerging medical technologies? What do health care companies, hospitals, and doctors need these days and how can consultants help? There are many opinions, many national models to learn from, heated debates on concepts of access and how to maintain economic and technological competitiveness, not to mention day to day operational and strategic issues. Come hear a panel of industry experts explain new emerging opportunities, ongoing issues and “panic projects” in an age of reform. The presenters will cover a broad spectrum of industry topics including operations, marketing and technology issues.
