Our new board chair, Kim Sinclair, CIO at Boston Medical Center Health Plan, moderated the webinar and was joined by Ferris Taylor, HCEG's Executive Director and Consultant to Arches Health Plan and David Gallegos, Sr VP of Consulting Services at Change Healthcare, one of HCEG's long-time sponsor partners.
A Few Highlights from the Webinar
"We are in a major transformation of healthcare from the consumer to the buyer being the employer to the consumer."
- Ferris Taylor
"So fundamentally, I think consumerism is about giving people what they want. So, at a high level that means affordable, accessible high-quality care that improves their overall quality of life."
- David Gallegos
