SUMMARY:Local Program Council Event: It's All About Vision -- The Role Vision Plays in Your Strategic Planning Process
DESCRIPTION:Offering 1.5 Face-to-Face Credit Hours\nWith today’s emphasis in the healthcare industry on population health and the integration of innovative technology\, healthcare leaders must be ready to consider new avenues to reach patients and engage healthcare workers.

This innovation engages patients and trains healthcare workers to utilize competition and gaming in a new way to improve patient outcomes. Gamification will be presented in terms of compliance with HIPAA and HITECH regulations. This panel will educate participants in learning what Gamification is and will discuss how healthcare systems are using Gamification to engage patients\, improve patient experience and quality measures/outcomes\, and open organizational perspective to the endless possibilities for its use in healthcare. \nNote: Space is extremely limited for this event.
