Healthcare Leadership – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 12/7 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Michelle Currie (@mshlcurrie) on the topic of “Healthcare Leadership”.

An important truism in healthcare today is that change is the only constant. Indeed, it seems as if the entire world is changing at warp speed. The external and internal environment seems to be populated with a whole new set of rules, regulations, devices, diseases, and demands.

Consider the following set of terms added to the healthcare landscape: MACRA, Population Health management, accountable care, retail medicine, value-based purchasing, bronze/silver/gold/platinum health plans, Zika, personalized medicine, consumerism, bit data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, augmented reality. To quote the late Dr. Ken Cohn, the tectonic plates (of healthcare) are shifting.

Whether by incremental movement or in large, unexpected jolts, the environmental forces confronting healthcare leaders today are creating conditions that pose significant challenges to even the most experienced executives.

Join us for this week’s #HITsm chat where we talk about healthcare leadership.
