NG Healthcare Summit
Taking place from 9 – 11 December 2019, a host of senior healthcare decision-makers and business leaders from across North America will gather at the wonderful The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island in Florida for our NG Healthcare Summit, to discuss the most pressing challenges – and opportunities – in the fast-moving health provision sector.
The summit will look at a number of key themes, including: customer experience – payer/provider collaboration and consumer loyalty; wearables and patient generated data – how to leverage patient data from remote monitoring and wearables to better manage chronic disease and at risk individuals; and data analytics – gaining insights and developing an action plan based on a unified patient data set.
From case studies that lift the lid on operations inside best-in-class organisations, to workshops and collaborative sessions that focus on real challenges and future technology innovations, to one-to-one meetings with industry peers offering practical advice tailored to your specific needs, the summit provides you with everything you need to implement your key projects more effectively.
There were many one-on-ones that would allow me to bring innovation to my system, to use technologies to cut right to the heart of the matter and allow us to solve problems in a very quick and agile way.
It’s good to have the opportunity to ‘look behind’ the company logo and hear what the real challenges are and how much we all have in common.
We have struck up many conversations and a couple of transformation projects with suppliers GDS have introduced us to.
Our Approach
Every GDS Summit has one stated aim: to help attending executives implement their key projects more effectively. We do this by developing an in-depth understanding of those executives' project needs, the business outcomes they want to achieve, and the challenges they face in terms of hitting those goals.

To provide proactive care and engagement for the growing number of individuals living with complex conditions, health care stakeholders are turning to device-generated health data to derive meaningful insights into patients’ and members’ health, lifestyles, and behaviors. These valuable data are powering a variety of programs – such as personalized wellness, remote care management, and population health programs – that could prevent hospital admissions and adverse health events.
What impact do these programs have on the total health of members? How do you scale personalized, data-driven experiences? Is taking an enterprise approach to IoT realistic?
In this session, hear from a technology expert as he discusses how personal health data is quickly becoming the next frontier in creating an enterprise data strategy.
Key Takeaways:
• Meaningful ways to incorporate new tools without adding additional burden to clinicians, care teams, and patients already struggling to manage an illness or condition
• Best practices for implementing and scaling data-driven remote care programs that reduce costs and improve clinical outcomes
• How to develop an “invisible” healthcare experience via digital health technology and the integration of patient-generated health data
