Commercial plans and self-insured employers;
New tech-enabled and convenient-access care options.
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.

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.
