Farzad Mostashari, M.D., CEO/Founder, Aledade Inc. (@Farzad_MD)
Better understand the current shift in the health care landscape from volume to value. There are opportunities for physician leadership in delivery system reform, as well as pitfalls that the accountable care movement must avoid to be successful.


3:05 PM: ENGAGE LIVE: Dive Deeper Into Patient Engagement

Kuang Chen, Ph.D., Founder & CEO, Captricity, Inc. (@captricity)
Join a special session broadcast live on MedCityNews.com and held in the exhibitor area of ENGAGE discussing a key issue in patient engagement. New digital technologies are empowering today’s customer, disrupting legacy business processes and are causing healthcare executives to question their strategies on how to get a leg up on the competition. In this new “age of the customer,” the only true competitive advantage in healthcare is the degree to which you know and engage with your individual customers. Join Kuang Chen, CEO of Captricity to learn how organizations are using technology to help improve customer service and increase patient engagement without overhauling legacy workflows and business processes.

Kristin Carman, Ph.D., Vice President, Health Policy Research, Health and Social Development Program, American Institutes for Research
Join a special session broadcast live on MedCityNews.com and held in the exhibitor area of ENGAGE discussing a key issue in patient engagement. In this session, hear about a new vision for achieving engagement that unites key strategies that can be implemented today: from system redesign to measuring patient and family engagement in health care delivery to strengthening the business case for engagement. The plan moves us toward a new healthcare culture that will foster meaningful interactions with patients and families, and achieve better outcomes, lower costs, and a more patient-centered system.


8:40 AM: Keynote Speaker – Engagement: Moving Healthcare from Chaotic Complexity to Sophisticated Simplicity

Joseph Smith, M.D., Chief Science and Medical Officer, West Health (@JoeSmithMD)
Healthcare today is a tangle of uncoordinated, unconnected data silos, where the fax machine is the standard of care, and patient engagement through technology is a challenge. How can healthcare get the connectivity and coordination we routinely experience from other industries? Join the West Health Institute’s Dr. Joe Smith to hear how medical interoperability can drive patient engagement and an automated, connected and coordinated healthcare system centered around patients.
