The business sessions address issues and concerns relevant to the non-clinical side of medicine. Topics include healthcare reform, physician-hospital partnerships, forming an ACO and managing denials. The health management sessions address clinical and population health concerns in managed care. Since cancer is becoming a chronic illness, the oncology sessions will provide participants with appropriate education on issues such as survivorship, benefit design, pharmacoeconomics, palliative care and up to date treatment options. The genomics/biotech sessions address the issues surrounding genetic testing, biologic treatments, diagnostic concerns and more.
