WESTFORD, MA, May 15, 2013 (Press-News.org) The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) of Massachusetts will host its spring conference, "Disruptive Innovation: Creating the Healthcare Systems of the Future," on Thursday, May 16, 7 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., at the DoubleTree Hilton, 5400 Computer Drive in Westborough, MA.
Healthcare organizations that previously succeeded with a fee-for-service model must provide greater value in order to survive. Forward-looking organizations, industries and technologies are disrupting the status quo in dramatic ways. The future patient will be connected, informed and empowered, and an active part of his or her own caregiving team. Healthcare organizations that can navigate the maze of new technologies and processes while implementing successful strategies will be the ultimate winners. The event will highlight industry visionaries who are leading the way into the new paradigm.
