Cisco’s Community for Connected Health Summit

Description:
What is the reality of healthcare services today? Do earlier forecasts hold true? What do we know about successful organizations? How will technology impact care delivery? Join Dr. Kaveh Safavi, Global Healthcare Practice leader for the Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group, as he examines the impact of demographics, technology, and consumerism on healthcare services. Learn how to prepare your organization for the future by addressing questions such as "What are the attributes of high-performing organizations? "How are hospitals improving clinical care?" "How is the new retail attitude impacting the healthcare consumer?" Based on information representing the most current global experiences, Safavi will review how key factors, such as demand on resources, medical and information technology, and consumer attitudes are affecting trends in healthcare services, and what these trends mean for healthcare organizations as they adapt to a changing marketplace.
