ISMIE Risk Management invites you to their event

Digital Transformation of Medicine in the COVID-19 Era

About this event

Even before the COVID-19 crisis, the healthcare system was causing an economic crisis in the U.S. The high cost of healthcare has resulted in a search for alternative models of health and healthcare that would be more affordable to the public. Digital technologies have transformed the provision of care in the COVID-19 era – from telemedicine, to contact tracing, to heat maps of cases.

All of these efforts, which were deployed in a remarkably short period of time, have demonstrated the potential of digital technology to have a huge impact for patients. But, technological innovation is not enough to result in meaningful benefit – business model transformation is also necessary to have an effect on the cost and quality of care.

This talk will examine the relationship between the analog and digital worlds in medicine and how these different models might evolve over time. 

Who can attend

Registration is limited to ISMIE policyholders, ISMS members, and their employed staff.
