Pre-Conference Workshop #1:
Topic: To Buy, Build or use Embedded Technology Solutions  

To buy, to build or use an embedded EMR tool, the universal question healthcare organizations face. During this preconference session, participants will walk away with the framework for making these decisions. Participants will hear firsthand from members who bought and those that built. Hear their experiences, lessons learned, and long term sustainability for evaluating technologies such as predictive models, clinical decision support (CDS), and natural language processing (NLP), with a focus on cost, EMR integration, implementation timelines, and organizational readiness.

Pre-Conference Workshop #2:
Topic:
The Dollars and Cents of Value-based Care
