Do You Know a Healthcare Game Changer?
South Florida Medical Group Management Association Announces
Event Speaker
Rob Parker MBA, CMPE, CPXP, Administrative Director, Physician Practices Memorial Healthcare System will speak at the SFMGMA's 4th Annual Symposium - The Next Generation Medical Practice. The event will take place November 17 in Fort Lauderdale and Mr. Parker will speak on the topic of Patient Experience: A Path to Better Outcomes.
 
"The healthcare industry continues to evolve its payment structure from the disease management model of payment to the value based payment methodology. The patient experience will be a key driving factor in this new payment methodology. Our industry is also facing another factor that will have an impact on our financial success and that is the Millennial generation consumers. The manner in which this new generation shops for health care is an important aspect for any healthcare provider to understand their social media presence. This session will discuss how to improve operational efficiencies within your practice, how to engage the patient for better outcomes, and it will discuss how the patient experience will impact your social media presence," states Mr. P arker.
