CEO Steve Schelhammer will address automating population health management
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Phytel, the leader in provider-led health improvement, announced today that Steve Schelhammer, CEO of Phytel, will make a presentation at the 30th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco on Thursday, Jan. 12, at 1:30 p.m. PST.
Schelhammer will focus on the automation of population health management, illustrating how it is key to improving the quality and lowering the cost of care as the industry moves from fee-for-service to value-based healthcare. He will explain how Phytel's solutions can help provider organizations identify high-risk patients and meet their needs while addressing the care gaps of the rest of the patient population through automated patient monitoring and outreach. In addition, he will describe how healthcare organizations can use Phytel's services to make care managers more efficient and effective, engage patients more fully in their own care, and improve care transitions between hospital and ambulatory care.
"We are honored to be asked to make a presentation at the 30th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, one of the most important events of its kind," said Schelhammer. "Leaders in today’s healthcare environment are recognizing the importance of automating population health management. Organizations that make optimal use of information technology to manage the health of all their patients will achieve the best outcomes at the lowest cost."
