#HIMSS vs. #HLTH 🤺 I am just back from two conferences in Europe: HIMSS in Rome followed in two weeks by HLTH in Amsterdam. ✅️ Both conferences are trying to expand outside the US. ✅️ Both are focused on digital health. ✅️ Both were not really big. ✅️ Both attracted the best speakers and panelists - a truly splended mix of international #healthcare leaders. However, in my personal impression, HIMSS was completely knocked out by HLTH this time. 👊🏆 Of course, everyone at HLTH was amazed by an unforgettable atmosphere of never-ending celebration 🍻: terrific production, colors, music 🎶, food, hairdresser ✂️🪮 and makeup corner💄, on-site and off-site activities, tons of give aways and unforgettable funny #unicorn 🦄 ready to take a picture 📷 with each and every participant. (💡Eventually it looks like we finally have the first-time ever COOL 🎉 event in such a conservative industry like healthcare🩺). But ☝️ A true X-factor of HLTH was its amazing networking platform. 🤝 That was an absolute game-changer in what you take from the conference experience at the end 🃏. Not only the networking app was smartly built and, sorry for cliche, user friendly. (Very simple, but unfortunately not obvious to many conferences' organizers 🤷♀️ - If you position yourself as a leading event in technological field you must use up-to-date technological platforms). The HLTH concept itself was so much #networking oriented 🎯 that literally "required" from every participant to commit to be an active networker. As if it was saying: "Want to enjoy being a part of our #community? Be open to communicate and meet people". Bravo to organizers! 🫡🫶👏 With no doubt, those conferences that do not understand importance of networking and do not close this gap in their programs will find themselves not relevant very soon. 💯 People vote by feet. ⛷️ For me the choice is obvious. What about you❓️ #hltheurope #himsseurope #digitalhealth #networking

The Harley Street Business Improvement District (BID) was proud to host its inaugural 'Medical Board Roundtable' this week at the Royal Society of Medicine, welcoming David Lawson MCIPS, Director of Medical Technology at the Department of Health and Social Care.   This milestone event provided an invaluable platform to tackle key challenges and opportunities in London’s independent healthcare sector, focusing on:   💠 Attracting international private healthcare consumers to the UK. 💠 Supporting global healthcare businesses to grow their presence in the UK. 💠 Discussions centred on supporting economic growth for London’s independent medical sector while enhancing the global reputation of the UK’s exceptional healthcare services.   Key topics included medical technology advancements, streamlined visa processes, improved accessibility and transport, and addressing workforce shortages. The roundtable also explored enhancing the patient experience through initiatives like airport concierge services and “step-down” hotels for recovery.   We extend our heartfelt thanks to participants including Phoenix Hospital Group, The Royal Marsden - Private Care, The Howard de Walden Estate, RUIMEN LIMITED, The London Clinic, HCA Healthcare UK, OneWelbeck, MedCity, Isokinetic Medical Group and Cushman & Wakefield.   Together, we’re shaping Harley Street into a world-leading destination for independent healthcare. 🌍💼   Nicki Palmer James North Julian Best Simon Baynham Harley Street Health District

The #HealthChallengesCongress organized by #RynekZdrowia took place in Katowice. One of the most important healthcare conferences was a place for discussion about the challenges, which included the development of medical technologies and equipment supporting the work of specialists. The event was attended by key decision-makers (including the Minister of Health Ms Izabela Leszczyna) and representatives of the healthcare sector, including #FamedŻywiec. In our opinion, the challenge we constantly face is the issue of providing more specialized ICU and electric beds in hospitals. For example, Poland recently had 6.9 intensive care beds per 100,000 people. inhabitants, while, for example, in the Czech Republic or France it is 11.6, and in Germany, it is 38.7. This topic has appeared in public discussion but has not yet been implemented. We believe the funds from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan will allow us to implement the changes announced in the Hospital Modernization Fund. Modern equipment is important for more efficient functioning of the entire system. See the video summary of the event by RynekZdrowia.pl 

Valuable insights into the process quality of US #hospitals Impressive willingness to change and technological advancement During my participation at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, I was able to experience first-hand how hospitals in the USA use digital solutions and process optimization to improve the quality of care. I was particularly impressed by the willingness to actively embrace change and implement new technologies. Digital Health: Pragmatic approach and lived interprofessionalism The USA is characterized by a pragmatic approach to the introduction of Digital Health. Instead of theorizing for a long time, pilot projects are launched and the results are implemented in practice. The lived interprofessionalism, in which all professional groups work together on an equal footing, is also remarkable. Clean processes and consistent decision-making Another important factor for the high process quality in US hospitals is the focus on clean processes and consistent decision-making. Decisions are made on the basis of data and facts and are consistently implemented. Learning from the USA: Optimizing process quality in German hospitals The insights I gained have shown me that German hospitals can learn a lot from the practice in the USA. The following points are particularly relevant: 👉 Willingness to change: Actively shape the transformation process and not wait for political decisions. 👉 Use technology: Use digital solutions to optimize processes and improve the quality of care. 👉 Promote interprofessionalism: Ensure cooperation between all professional groups on an equal footing. 👉 Establish clean processes: Create clear structures and responsibilities. 👉 Make consistent decisions: Make decisions based on data and facts and implement them consistently. Personal reflection As Chair of #HIMSSDACH, I am convinced that HIMSS is an inspiring place that opens up new perspectives and promotes innovation. Therefore, I am convinced that participation as a member of the DACH delegation offers many benefits. Dr. med.

📹👇 NEW VIDEO: This was a fun conversation with Colin Hung about the value of attending industry conferences. My take: They are worth attending - IF you put some effort into getting the most out of your conference experience. #hcmktg #healthcaremarketing #healthcarecommunications

Conferences are powerful for feedback and awareness for early-stage companies.   In the early days of M7 Health, the idea of exhibiting at conferences was intimidating.   We were nervous about the investment - both time and monetary - that goes into attending conferences as a vendor.   During the first year of M7, we attended as participants to assess what it might be like as a vendor.   We also conferred with other early-stage businesses who had already dipped their toes in the water.   Chaitenya Razdan at Care+Wear and Austin Dirks from GreenLight Medical gave us great advice about how to make the most of the experience (thank you both!). Ultimately, we decided to buy a booth at AONL, one of the biggest nursing conferences in the country, earlier this year.   We literally met thousands (!!) of nurse leaders.   We also attended the New England chapter of ONL’s annual meeting, a smaller and more intimate regional event a few weeks later. We went all out and invested in booth displays, collateral, and M7 t-shirts and worked hard on our demo skills.   Both conferences were amazing experiences.   We forged new relationships and have several active leads that were initiated at the conferences. Most importantly, we received feedback about what we are building at M7 during our demos.   We leveraged the opportunity to get rapid-fire feedback on our product from hundreds of prospective buyers in a single day.   This was the validation we needed to keep going, and this fall, we have a strong line-up of conferences we’ll be attending!   In short, if you are an early-stage venture and want to test whether in-person events may work for you,   1️⃣ Attend first as an attendee 2️⃣ Consult with other vendors/founders in your space for advice 3️⃣ Lean in to get the most out of the event 4️⃣ Optimize for conversations and feedback #eventmarketing
