Spring Fling 2012: Matchpoint Boston

Health Law 2.0 addresses the pressing legal issues for both large and small Health 2.0 companies in the regulated world of health care. There’ll be two tracks of programming — one focused on Patient/Consumer Legal Issues and the other focused on Legal Issues with Providers, Plans and Life Sciences.

The panels we have assembled include the leading experts in each topic who will provide an overview and important updates. The panel also will work through some interactive examples of problematic arrangements and provide insight on how to avoid legal risk. In every session, there will be ample time for questions.

This is a wonderful opportunity for all Health 2.0 companies to delve deeper into the legal issues so they can make better choices as well as identify potential opportunities and capitalize on them.

The last year has brought a lot of buzz around Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). But how are they going to manage those patient populations and coordinate care? And what technologies will they need to succeed? We’ve brought together three experts from Boston, a mecca of Pioneer ACOs, for a 30 minute panel followed by 30 minutes of networking and technology exhibits.

We’re bringing back our popular Fireside Chat session from the 2011 San Diego Spring Fling! Each discussion in linked to the next. You’ll get 15 minute bursts of thought provoking, and possibly controversial conversations!

Presentations by the winners of the most recent round of the Health 2.0 Developer Challenge.

For the second session of fireside chats, we’ll sit down with individuals who are entering the Health 2.0 space for a second or third time with new start-ups. Hear how they are taking knowledge and observations from their first experience and using it this time around.

Two new products, because you know you need a cool demo to take you to cocktails!

Hello Health – The Revenue Generating EMR

Join us as we talk about the Hello Health experience. We will show you how practices that have embraced our free EMR-based Patient Management model are getting paid for work that they have typically done without reimbursement. We will demonstrate how practices are making money above & beyond Meaningful Use to realize top-line revenue gains, and preview future plans to help primary care providers generate further meaningful revenue growth.
