HealthSparq, the industry leader in health care transparency solutions, is hosting a summit conference for current and prospective customers on March 18-19 at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago. The conference, titled “A Clear Vision,” will focus on communicating and expanding on a distinct vision for health care transparency and the benefits of shopping for health care services in today’s marketplace.
As part of the event, HealthSparq is presenting two keynote speakers who will share their expertise:
- Neel Shah, M.D. is a Harvard-affiliated medical provider and a leading national thought leader promoting the use of advocacy, education and technology to help caregivers deflate medical bills and create change. Dr. Shah’s views on the role of physicians in controlling health care costs have been quoted in the New York Times, National Public Radio, ABC television programs and other outlets.
- Wendy Lynch, Ph. D., has been making the connection between human and business performance for nearly 30 years. Her career has included roles as faculty at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, vice president of strategic development at HCMS Group, principal at Mercer Human Resource Consulting and a seat on the board of directors for two publicly-traded companies. Now Dr. Lynch serves as co-director of the Center for Consumer Choice in Health Care at the Altarum Institute and runs her own consulting firm.
“We have more than 60 health plan customers and are always looking for ways to listen to their needs and partner with them to ensure our health care transparency solutions play an essential role in serving their employer customers and their members,” said Scott Decker, president of HealthSparq. “Bringing them all together with our leadership team at this event allows us to learn from each other and from our keynote speakers.”
During the two day educational event, attendees will participate in forums about transparency tools built to inform and incent health care decision-making, engagement strategies that drive utilization of the tools, and how to take the guesswork out of what’s next in health care services shopping.
