Healthcare Quality Week 2017: "Transparency or Quality – Which Comes First?" (RP1710C_102017)

Dallas, TX US
October 20, 2017

Healthcare Quality Week is a UTSW/PHHS initiative to discuss improvement strategies and best practices in patient quality and safety, health information technology, patient care delivery, and patient satisfaction. 

The year 2017 was in many ways the quiet before the storm.  Although little health care legislation was passed to date, market forces are continuing as ever before.  The delivery of superior quality will be challenged by the need for enhanced patient experience and enterprise-wide cost effectiveness. This activity will review the roles of health care costs, transparency and pay for performance as they effect the future of quality, and successful organizations will need to accomplish all of these.  In addition, the impact of genomics and telemedicine will also be discussed.
