Join me for some upcoming speaking gigs

Hey all. I bet you thought I abandoned this blog when I took the job with MedCity News in April. I kind of did, because this is a health IT blog, and the people who pay my salary want me covering health IT exclusively for them. However, I’m allowed to promote myself, so promote I shall. As a bonus, all of what I’m about to tell you is related to health IT, which is why you came here in the first place.

I’ve got several speaking gigs coming up next month. Some are open to the public, others are not.

  • Oct. 1, I will moderate a panel discussing trends in patient engagement as part of the kickoff event for the new Chicago chapter of Health Technology Forum. RSVP here for the event, which starts at 6 pm CDT at SAS Institute’s Chicago office, Two Prudential Plaza, 180 N. Stetson Ave., Suite 1600. Panelists TBA.
  • Oct. 7, I will be at the Surescripts 2015 Customer Forum in Alexandria, Va., on a panel hosted by Surescripts CEO Tom Skelton. I’ll be joined by my friends Mandi Bishop of Dell and Shahid Shah, a.k.a. the Healthcare IT Guy, to discuss interoperability. That session runs 8:30-9:15 a.m. EDT.
  • Oct. 26, I am scheduled to be on a panel called “The Intersection of Digital Health and Patient Centricity,” alongside Sean Katz, CIO of the Vitality Group, and Maryam Saleh, director of member experience at health technology incubator Matter. That’s hosted by marketing firm APCO Worldwide, and starts at 5:30 p.m. CDT in the Wacker Room of the CME Building, 10 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 1200, Chicago.

Perhaps I’ll see you at one or more of those.

I’m speaking at the Health Technology Forum in SF

If you’re in Northern California, or plan to be, I will be on a panel at the Health Technology Forum’s 2013 Innovation Conference: Platforms for the Underserved on Friday, April 19, in San Francisco. I’ll be sharing the podium with Jan Oldenburg, Aetna’s VP for provider and patient engagement, in a breakout session on patient engagement. (There will be at least one other panelist, still to be determined.)

We’re still working on the details, but I suspect this session will cover what it means to be an engaged patient, the 5 percent portal usage requirement in Stage 2 of meaningful use, the relationship of patient engagement to patient satisfaction and the technologies and strategies that are and are not working. Since it is an innovation conference, I might have to play the role of reality checker like I often do when I venture into the Bay Area. :)
