The World Health Care Congress 2nd Annual Leadership Summit on Consumer Connectivity will convene leading health care executives to examine technology as a key enabler of system wide reform. Web-based technologies, including PHRs, physician/patient portals, social networks, and online decision support tools shift the power in health care to consumers and offer solutions to accelerate quality initiatives, increase access and help control escalating costs. Our fragmented system leaves health care professionals struggling with the challenge of day to day of delivery, thus a new business model of innovation is needed now more than ever before. This Summit will offer compelling strategies for providers, insurers and employers to revolutionize health care through the integration and adoption of eHealth applications and personal health management tools.
