Headed to HIMSS18? Join NEHI as it Unveils Its Vision for Health Care Without Walls

Headed to HIMSS18? Join NEHI as it Unveils Its Vision for Health Care Without Walls!

Are you planning to attend HIMSS in Las Vegas, March 5-7 ? If so, don’t miss important sessions that will define a path for how existing and emerging innovations can bring health care closer to patients.

NEHI (the Network for Excellence in Health Innovation) will convene three public sessions at HIMSS to unveil its Health Care Without Walls initiative , designed to advance a more distributed health care system in which care is delivered outside of conventional settings and moves more into individuals’ homes, workplaces, schools, and other community settings.

Current and future technologies, such as telehealth, remote monitoring, and artificial intelligence, will underpin the more distributed system of the future. NEHI’s initiative has drawn on the collective insights of experts spanning key sectors of health and health care to examine the technological potential, as well as the work force, regulatory, payment, and human factors considerations, inherent in moving to such a distributed system.

During HIMSS, NEHI and experts involved in the project will discuss the initiative and its work to date and will preview draft recommendations to be published in white papers and presented in various other forums in 2018. NEHI session information is below.

We hope to see you in Vegas! Follow @NEHI_News and the #HIMSS18 and #HealthCareWithoutWalls hashtags on Twitter for updates!
