2017 Top 10 Challenges & Issues Discussed on the #HITsm Tweetchat
The #HITsm tweet chat is a popular Twitter chat about healthcare information technology and related topics. The chat is sponsored by @HealthStandards and is held every Friday at 9:00am PT. This week, the theme of the #HITsm chat will be the Top 10 Challenges for Healthcare Executives and the chat will be moderated by HCEG’s very own Ferris Taylor, COO of Arches Health Plan.
The HCEG Top 10 list is developed by HCEG members each year and forms the basis for examining critical priorities, challenges and issues faced by health plans and healthcare providers in the post-reform era. The #HITsm chat will present five topics intended to support and compliment the 2017 Top 10 Challenges & Issues list.
Topics for the #HITsm Tweetchat
Topic 1: What do you think are the main issues and concerns facing healthcare organizations?
Topic 2: What are some ways to identify and prioritize challenges and issues specific to your healthcare organization?
Topic 3: How can you establish an environment that communicates the importance of change and welcomes opinions and new ideas?
Topic 4: What are some ways to inform & engage others – in your firm & broadly across industry – in large transformational initiatives?
Topic 5: Why do you think healthcare innovation lags that of other industries? And what can be done to ameliorate that?
Background on the HCEG Top 10 List
Based on HCEG member input and sponsor research, the HCEG Top 10 list serves as the basis for continuous and evolving dialog on the main issues and concerns facing healthcare payers, providers and other constituent organizations. The Top 10 list has been published every year for the last decade and you can find more information on this year’s list and previous year’s Top 10 lists here.
What’s Next for the HCEG Top 10 List?
In addition to serving as the basis for a wealth of research, white papers, webinars, blogs, and formal and informal discussion opportunities available throughout the year, the Top 10 list serves as the basis for The Industry Pulse: a research survey project executed via a partnership between HCEG and Change Healthcare. This survey will be available October 31st and all #HITsm tweet chat attendees are encouraged to take the survey: IndustryPulse
