Forecasting Healthcare's Ideal Prospects
The American Telemedicine Association (ATA) is set to host its annual conference in May, with the event taking place in person in Boston. This year's conference is expected to delve into the latest advancements in the virtual care landscape.
While the specific companies or organizations showcasing the latest virtual healthcare developments are yet to be named, Jared Augenstein, a noted speaker at previous ATA events on digital health innovation, is set to attend. Randi Seigel, a legal and policy expert in telehealth, will also be present, having been confirmed to speak on state telehealth reproductive access laws and AI regulatory compliance in healthcare.
Meanwhile, the ViVE conference, a combined effort of CHIME and HLTH, took place in Miami and focused on advances in digital health. Experts at ViVE discussed topics such as health equity, value-based care, and strategic partnerships. Aaron Martin, executive vice president and chief digital officer of Providence, emphasized the importance of seeking partners with a "small story and big story" to focus impact and scale after working with numerous companies. The "small story" refers to generating a significant return on investment (ROI) for partners in a short period of time, while the "big story" refers to how the partnership can grow beyond the initial small success.
In contrast, the ATA conference in May is not expected to discuss the concept of a "small story" and a "big story" in partnerships, nor will it emphasize the importance of considering different approaches and models for success in strategic partnerships, as was the case at ViVE.
At HIMSS22, another healthcare technology conference that took place in Orlando, experts highlighted advancements and pain points for at-home acute care services and interoperability. However, the ATA conference in May is not related to ViVE or HIMSS22 and may not focus on these topics.
Joan Imrich, director of advanced analytics at Johnson & Johnson, noted that moving care safely from high-tech hospitals to people's homes is a significant challenge. While this point was made at HIMSS22, it is unclear whether it will be a focus at the ATA conference in May.
Aimee Quirk, CEO of Ochsner Ventures at Louisiana-based Ochsner Health, also emphasized the importance of considering different approaches and models for success in strategic partnerships, but this is not expected to be a focus at the ATA conference in May.
The conference may discuss topics such as Big Data, Management, Patient-Centered Care, Patient Data Management, and Patient Experience. However, it is not expected to focus on health equity, value-based care, or strategic partnerships like the ViVE conference did.
