Opening Seminars
A.) Building Meaningful Health Care Communities with Technology
As a result of technological innovations and the internet, consumers have access to literally millions of resources (and alleged resources) that will provide a variety of information, services and products regarding their specific illness or disability. These resources however, often lack continuity and integration, and fail to fully assist the individual in navigating themselves through a complicated healthcare system. Through the utilization of technology, we have the ability to build healthcare communities and bridge the gap to the multitude of resources and services available to the consumer. This seminar will provide the tools necessary to create essential on-line health care resources, to develop a sound business model for an on-line community, and to design strategies so your site can attract and retain more members.

B.) Smart Connections: The Power of Active-RFID Indoor Positioning to Create and Sustain a Safer, Smarter Healthcare Environment
Hospitals are using active-RFID indoor positioning systems (IPS) to increase quality, productivity and safety, and have found they can achieve an impressive ROI. Our goal is to move attendees from the current state of confusion to one of clarity as it relates to the value of active-RFID IPS to positively impact care delivery, service excellence, clinical outcomes, patient safety, operational efficiency and nurse retention.

Successful business leaders and emerging innovators will describe entrepreneurial strategies and tactics that drive competitive advantage in a changing health care environment.
