How to develop and enhance national healthcare systems and its patient delivery is an ongoing challenge for the healthcare sector of any country.

marcus evans healthcare specialises in the research and development of strategic events for healthcare personnel.

The upcoming marcus evans National Healthcare CFO Summit in Las Vegas in October will offer a unique format for solution providers to gain access to the leading financial executives across North America.

With President Obama’s healthcare reform bill finally passed on 21 March, 2010 top of the mind for these finance executives is the impact that the altered system will have on their role as well as the preparative measures that need to be taken to ready their healthcare systems. It is evident that the ability of the CFO to lead and quickly adapt to the new operating environment will be tested as they continue to juggle the daily demands of balancing cost, quality, access and care.

Over three days at this marcus evans healthcare event, solution providers will meet and interact with CFOs through a number of one-on-one business meetings and many organised networking activities. In addition, solution providers will attend strategic summit sessions led by thought leaders from across the healthcare industry at this marcus evans healthcare summit.

Several challenges have emerged from the economic situation of the past year, which resulted in many expansion projects being halted and a greater focus being placed on cost containment. Hospitals across the US embraced and adopted leaner approaches to operations such as the implementation of electronic health records. This past year has also seen an increase in the number of hospitals “going green” to aid in cost reduction, examples of this include building energy-efficient hospitals with recycled materials and utilising environmentally-friendly cleaning products.

There is no doubt that this year will bring even more innovative methods to reducing total expenditures.
