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.
