Precision Health 101: Understanding the Keys to Value – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 5/5 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Bob Rogers (@ScientistBob) from @IntelHealth on the topic of “Precision Health 101: Understanding the Keys to Value”.

Precision health starts with personalized diagnosis and precision treatment planning. That’s why leading edge health systems are making health more precise at the individual patient level. This approach is a dramatic shift from the “one-size-fits-all” model of treatment and has shifted the conversation to the uniqueness of each person, down to “DNA fingerprint” that is fueling an individual’s disease.

In this Twitter chat, join the discussion with Bob Rogers, chief data scientist at Intel Corporation, about the definition of precision health, where it’s being utilized today, and what healthcare CIOs should be thinking about now to make personalized care a reality.

Join us on Friday May 5th at 12:00pm ET as we discuss the following questions on #HITsm:
