The Roundtable serves to provide a vehicle for these and other stakeholders to exchange ideas and dialogue on emerging health IT issues and opportunities. The Roundtable continues to engage on relevant issues with industry experts, and share learning experiences and case studies. Key topics for the year include accountable care/value-based healthcare/care coordination, and “enabling” issues such as HIE, interoperability, funding models, data management, business intelligence, and patient identity. Activities will include efforts that will incorporate the payer perspective into HIMSS’ policy recommendations and activities, and the creation of practical resources that will help guide industry stakeholders toward making health IT investments that will improve individual patient care, outcomes and quality. The Roundtable meets monthly, via conference call, on the third Thursday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. (ET). Please visit HIMSS Patient-Centered Payer Roundtable website for additional information.
