// cancelled // SI 2020 Annual Conference “In Real Life: Digital Transformation and Patient Care”

April 1, 2020 - April 3, 2020

SI 2020 ANNUAL CONFERENCE CANCELLED. CLICK FOR DETAILS.

After careful consideration and discussion with our Members, we have decided not to reschedule the SI 2020 Annual Conference.  We understand the impact the coronavirus is having on your organization and are respectful of the time you need to deal with this outbreak.

Please mark your calendars for April 7-9, 2021 in Scottsdale at the Westin Kierland for our next SI Annual Conference.

In the meantime, please join our COVID-19 Teleconference weekly series, and we look forward to ‘seeing’ you on these teleconferences and Affinity Group Dialogue calls, as we continue to provide you and your organization relevant and timely content, and keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

2020 Presidential Election as a backdrop:

Healthcare will be front-and-center in the minds of Americans when they come to the polls in November 2020. How are today’s health systems poised to respond to consumer and government demands for change?

Change is racing across the country spurred on by:

Virtual care and voice-response technology innovations;
Demands for price transparency and convenient service options;
New entrants fueled by Google and Amazon based offerings.

Health systems are finding new partners to:

Provide services, tests, and drugs in the home;
Simplify scheduling, results reporting, and bill pay via smartphone;
Manage risk, standardize quality, and reduce cost
SI members gather in April 2020 to share what’s working, what’s not, and why.

Our 27th Annual Conference examines disruptive innovations among our health systems in addressing the various populations we serve:

Governmental programs such as Medicaid and Medicare;
Commercial plans and self-insured employers;
New tech-enabled and convenient-access care options.
We explore new strategies, partnerships, and business models and hear from health systems at the vanguard of the “new normal” to build the future tech-enabled, proactively managed healthcare system for tomorrow.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Scottsdale Institute Conferences are intimate sessions, designed for Member senior executives to share strategies, tactics, and “lessons learned” in their transformation journey. Our platform is more “participation” and less “presentation,” so come prepared for relaxed, informal and highly interactive sessions with senior management teams from other leading health systems.

Member officers, trustees and other administrative and clinical executives are invited. As leaders in their respective markets and in IT-enabled performance improvement, SI Members share their experiences and learn from their peers.

This conference is offered for SI Member executive teams. While the conference fee is included in SI Membership dues, attendees are responsible for their own hotel and travel expenses.

1:15 – 2:00 PM | KEYNOTE – National Healthcare Agenda 2020

“Reflections on Tipping Points for Change and Scenario Planning for Health Systems”

According to the February Keckley Report, for the balance of 2020, healthcare will be in the spotlight. Healthcare affordability, profitability and transparency will be popular targets for critics of the current system, and talking points featuring “socialized medicine” and “government run healthcare” will be used to stoke resistance to their ideas. Gain key insights from Keckley that will help you prepare your health system for impact.
