Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud.
We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Outcomes Health Information Solutions, LLC, a leading healthcare
clinical abstraction and analytics company, announced that it will be a
sponsor at America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Institute 2010 at
Caesars’ Palace in Las Vegas, Nev. June 9-11. AHIP is the national
association representing nearly 1,300 member companies providing health
insurance coverage to more than 200 million Americans.
“Outcomes is proud to be an AHIP sponsor during such a pivotal time in
the healthcare industry. As the healthcare landscape looks toward
reform, we recognize how vital it is to support this event with speakers
such as world-renowned author Gary Hamel,” said Outcomes’ Chief Business
Development Officer, Teri Mullaney.
Outcomes will host a book-signing at their exhibit booth on Thursday,
June 10 at 2:30 p.m. Author, speaker and business thought leader Gary
Hamel will be on hand to sign his latest book, The Future of
Management, at the Outcomes’ booth. Mr. Hamel is the author of
several publications including Leading the Revolution and Competing
for the Future. His latest book was published by the Harvard
Business School Press in October 2007 and it was selected by Amazon.com
as the best business book of the year. Mr. Hamel will also speak at the
event.
“Legislation aside, you can't reinvent America's health care system
if the industry's most important players aren't capable of reinventing
themselves -- and that, I think, is the nub of the problem. There is
little doubt that industry leaders understand the need for fundamental
transformation. But their organizations are shackled by legacy
management practices that systematically frustrate breakthrough
innovation and proactive renewal,” Mr. Hamel said in an exclusive
statement for Outcomes. “The good news is that it really is possible to
build organizations that are as adaptable and innovative as they are
disciplined and focused. Doing so, however, will require us to challenge
long-standing assumptions about how to lead, manage and structure our
organizations.”
During the AHIP conference, Outcomes will spotlight its full suite of
services, featuring its compliance-based clinical data abstraction
approaches and will demonstrate its new Web-based HCC financial
management solution, ODIS AlertRA™ (Research & Analyze).
