The World Congress Leadership Summit on Consumer Connectivity & Web Empowerment aims to bridge the divide between new and old healthcare communications by convening senior level executives from the nation’s leading hospitals, health plans and employer organizations. Plenary sessions and educational tracks will address the opportunities and efficiencies presented by today’s new media, including social networks, blogs, online communities, search engines, PHRs, and self-service web tools. Along with insight from the next generation of healthcare technologists and entrepreneurs, this one-day event will present the online strategies necessary to transform internet based technologies into valuable and sustainable business models that improve web education, employee productivity and, ultimately, yield better health outcomes.
