Event Overview

The ongoing global crisis has put several things into perspective—most notably, the need to accelerate digital transformation for the healthcare industry. Right now, organizations, irrespective of size or structure, are gravitating towards solutions built on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and other smart technologies to combat the situation and make healthcare accessible to all. Shall we consider the crisis as a ray of hope, a clarion call for an industry that has long been struggling with its migration from the legacy system to a more advanced model? If so, how is it going to impact or disrupt your entire business? Is it going to shoot up your operational costs? So many questions are hanging over the future of healthcare. Let’s find answers to those.

We invite you to join Venky Ananth and Ray Wang as the two leading healthcare experts are going to have an elaborate chat over the possible impact of the pandemic on healthcare industry this May 6, 2020.

 

Key topics of discussion:

  • The pandemic and its impact on the global healthcare ecosystem
  • Are we on the brink of a massive disruption that’s going to blur all the healthcare boundaries of the past and present? Or have we already entered a future that’s defined by a digital-first approach, sophisticated technological solutions, interoperable data, and a synergic attitude? What lies ahead of us?

  • Providers & Payers: How to be ready for a post-pandemic world
  • With providers getting walloped by the pandemic and payers bending over backward to tackle the massive surge in claims, there are a few lessons to learn from the present crisis situation. For starters, the need to invest in an agile IT infrastructure, real-time solutions and a robust action plan to improve digital health capabilities. But that’s not all.

  • Telehealth and virtual care: The new normal?>
  • Social distancing has compelled us to see the silver linings in remote healthcare services, resulting in a rise of telehealth and telemedicine. As telehealth and virtual care are emerging as a key alternative for face to face consultations, what steps need to be taken to ensure a smooth transition for providers, payers, and patients?

Join us and share your questions, thoughts, and perspectives in this discussion about the future of healthcare using the hashtags #NextInHealthcare and #InfyHealthcareChat. We look forward to your presence.
