Hospitals 2.0 Series - Reduce Readmission Edition

Our second event in the series, Hospitals 2.0 has an amazing show for you. Bringing the latest technologies that are changing how the hospital experience works, these companies are all doing something special in the space. We call it the 'Get Out and Stay Out- Reduce Readmission Edition' because the river that runs through these creations and companies is that that they help patients recover faster, be more engaged in the hospital experience, get educated,, and stay out of the hospital. With the Medicare clawback imminent and the onus on hospitals to reduce readmission rates, there is no time like the present to come see what can be done about this enormous problem.

The event was very popular last time and I know at least one of the presenting companies got a big NYC Hospital deal right afterward. Very cool! Tim Brown of Antidote solutions will be running this event but we have a time and date picked out so put it on you calendar! If you want to be on the Hospital Leader panel and comment on the products and how they apply to your facility, present please contact us.

The format is companies will present their Project or Product and a panel of Hospital Executives in charge of Innovation will also offer comments and critiques of the products and projects. If this event is anything like the last one, some will even become customers!

Thank you to our generous hosts, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (http://www.vnsny.org/). You guys are awesome!
