Jacksonville FL — January 9th, 2015. Dr. William Bria, Board Chairman, AMDIS and Chief Medical Information Officer for THE HCI GROUP has been selected to speak at IMN's HealthIMPACT Southeast.
IMN's HealthIMPACT Southeast will take place January 23, 2015 in Tampa, FL. with a forum that will bring together health system CIOs, CMIOs, including William Bria, physician IT leadership, group practice managers, and innovators to evaluate and implement technologies that have measurable IMPACT on care delivery and organizational performance to help you move beyond meaningful use to meaningful outcomes.
The conference will inform and address the following healthcare delivery topics:
- Use cloud based services efficiently and effectively to drive collaboration and the practice of evidence based medicine
- Achieve broad based EHR implementation, physician adoption, and system interoperability
- Bridge the care gap and provide real time collaboration that connects providers and real time patient information
- Leverage predictive analytics that enable meaningful population health management for next generation healthcare delivery
- Invest today for the health system of tomorrow and build for the flexibility and agility required by today's health system
Dr. Bria, along with other key industry IT leaders, will lend his experience and knowledge regarding the technologies that impact care delivery and organizational performance to help healthcare systems move beyond meaningful use to meaningful care.
“I see five distinct ways organizations can improve patient care” says Bria. “Start by focusing on care, integrate IT into their workflow, use data to optimize care, prioritize efficiency and advocate for broader change.” Bria continues, “meaningful care is what physicians demand—and what their patients deserve.”
