Dr. David Voran is the Medical Director of Clinical Process Improvement at Heartland Health. He presented at CHC with Director of uCern Brian Carter on the topic of “Social Media in Healthcare.” Dr. Voran is extremely adept in these channels and maintains a Twitter account, a Facebook page and a blog. I spent a couple minutes talking with him after his session, which was extremely insightful on the role of social media in healthcare.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius addressed the general session this morning on the subject of healthcare reform. She shared information about the Flu Pandemic Initiative — a collaboration between Cerner, the HHS and the CDC. For more information, be sure to pick up the CHC Daily.
Cerner CEO and Co-Founder Neal Patterson addressed the General Session of CHC this morning. For those in attendance, it was a powerful and emotional presentation as Neal gave insights into his own personal experience with the healthcare system and laid out Cerner’s “next 30 years”.
Here are some of the reactions after the session:
