#JPM20 is over. Now it is time for #HIMSS20

We wrapped up the J.P. Morgan’s 38th annual Healthcare Conference a couple of weeks ago in San Francisco. The event is tailored more towards pharmaceutical and life science industries, medical devices firms, technology vendors, emerging start-ups, and members of the investment community. I believe that the contents at the upcoming HIMSS Global Health Conference will resemble the related discussions from San Francisco with a technology focus.

Themes from #JPM20

• The shift to value-based care starts with price transparency.
• Consumers want to be in charge but, are they really in control?
• Massive investments to lower drug prices.
• There is still a focus on digital, but are we building the culture or talent.

Focus for CIO at #HIMSS20

Technology platform to incorporate virtual care offerings and define the desired digital experience. Healthcare providers must define their consumerism strategy and what does that look like for the patient experience. We expect the expansion of telemedicine services by every organization, and CIOs are on the hunt to help define the digital patient experience while looking for the ideal technology platform.
