Taking Charge: The Future of Healthcare

Taking Charge:

THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE

Registration is now open for the 13th Annual RISE Nashville Summit, a dynamic learning event that features eight tracks and more than 40 sessions for executives and senior managers from Medicare Advantage, Commercial, and Medicaid health plans, provider groups/integrated health systems and service providers from across the United States.

The theme of the event, which will take place March 17-19, 2019 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, is “Taking Charge of the Future of Healthcare.” Session topics will address existing and emerging industry issues including risk revenue management, quality improvement, member engagement and care management, payer-provider collaboration, new technologies and advanced analytics, and policy updates. The summit attracts more than 1,200 participants each year. No other networking event in the industry compares to it, says Goldstein. “One of my ‘Dad’ jokes that I give at the podium is that this is the biggest gathering of people who understand what you do for a living,” he says. “There are tremendous amounts of networking opportunities. I will introduce 10 people to jobs. Networking can become a cliché. But can you think of a place that gathers more than 1,000 people who understand your value to your company?”

In addition to networking, attendees will hear from keynote speaker John Medina, a developmental molecular biologist, researcher, professor and author of 10 books. His New York Times bestseller, “Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving at Work, Home and School,” has been celebrated as the standard handbook on understanding the brain and optimizing its performance. He has spent most of his professional life as an analytical research consultant, working primarily in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries on research related to mental health. Medina also consults with hospitals and healthcare facilities on designing brain-healthy environments that reduce staff stress and improve patient outcomes. His presentation at RISE Nashville will focus on the aging brain.

New this year is an audience-driven discussion on healthcare hot topics. Goldstein will moderate a panel of healthcare experts and solution providers who will address questions submitted by attendees two weeks prior to the conference. This discussion will tackle challenges in the industry, including risk adjustment strategies, impact of government program reform, changes in audit protocols, innovations in technology, and implications.

The summit will also include 15 interactive, speed-dating type presentations on both days of the conference, so participants can hear from healthcare’s most influential technology and solution gurus who will present tools to help elevate your plan’s initiatives. A bell will ring three times during the special 60-minute sessions, alerting participants to transition to the next roundtable of their choice. Attendees will also be able to browse through the exhibit hall, which will feature more than 55 vendors that will display the latest technologies and solutions to help boost your plan’s risk, quality, and data management endeavors.
