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. :)
Neil,
I would like to volunteer to fill the vacant panel seat on the patient engagement panel at the Health Technology Forum’s 2013 Innovation Conference: Platforms for the Underserved. Perhaps you could pass my name along to whoever the conference organizer is. Looking at their website it’s hard to tell.
I am a Bay Area health care researcher and entrepreneur focusing in the patient engagement space…more form the patient’s perspective than the vendor or provider’s perspective. My most recent piece was entitled ” HIT-led Patient Engagement is a Bust – Real Engagement Begins With the Doctor-Patient Relationship. Here’s the URL; http://wp.me/pGXmn-Pc
Not sure if they found a speaker but it’s worth a try.
