fime_ 2014 August 6-8, 2014 | Miami Beach Convention Center Track 6: MEDTECKCON Learn from Healthcare Futurists, Consultants, Educators, and Authors on how Health Information Technology will Play a Key Role in Shaping our Future. The future of care management will mean leveraging integrated technology for collaboration across the spectrum of care for healthcare payers and providers. Controlling healthcare costs and providing quality care has been a challenge in the healthcare industry for decades and remains a conundrum for many in the 21st century. In today’s terms this means creating an electronic bridge between physicians, hospitals and payers to support automated processing of clinical transactions by targeting the right patients at the right time to improve clinical outcomes while using payer-based health records as a key component of consumer-driven medicine throughout the continuum of care will improve member, employer, and provider feedback, as well as satisfaction and retention. Track 7: PRIVATE PRACTICECON Specifically for the physician that attends FIME The real world practice of medicine faces the dilemma of operating a small business that has a multitude of state and federal regulations requiring real experience in the business world and the additional burden of constantly changing federal and state health care regulations. Private Practicecon’s focus is to address these challenges. Roles are rapidly changing; internists and family physicians spend less time with patients and incorporate more ancillary services that compete with specialists. Specialists such as oncologists and cardiologists provide more long-term management of chronic diseases, which competes with primary care providers. Specialists incorporate more expensive imaging modalities in their practices that compete with hospitals. These are business issues that need to be carefully examined. The FIME exhibition provides physicians with the largest most comprehensive exhibition floor with unparalleled access to more medical products, equipment and services from all over the world available anywhere. This track supplements the exhibition floor with practical information to meet the physician’s ever changing needs. 2014 Exhibitor Prospectus | www.fimeshow.com 20
