Gingrich And The Center For Health Transformation Announce Year End Meeting Will Be Held In Conjunction With THE HEALTHCARE EVENT Of 2004
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE INFO -- Newt Gingrich, founder of The Center for Health Transformation (CHT) announced today that CHT will hold their year end member meeting in conjunction with the largest and most inclusive Healthcare Conferences of 2004 -- The Consumer Directed Health Care Conference & Expo (CDHCC), The Emerging Technologies and Healthcare Innovations Congress (TETHIC) and Health Care Research & Innovations Congress (HCRIC). CHT's addition ensures a high level strategic forum for networking and strategy development defining America's healthcare agenda for the coming years. All four events will be held simultaneously November 29 - December 1, 2004 at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC, and will bring together all of the key stakeholders in healthcare from both the public and the private sector.
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is a featured speaker in a combined keynote with Congressman Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) for all three events in a session entitled, "Post Election Health Care Insights & Implications for the Next Four Years."
The principles of the 21st Century Intelligent Health and Healthcare system that CHT is striving to advance are consistent with the themes of the three co-located Emergent Group conferences. For example, CHT supports an individually-based system where individuals are accountable and responsible. "Returning market power and decision making authority back to the individual -- consumer directed healthcare -- is critical to the creation of a 21st Century intelligent health and healthcare system that offers more choices and better quality at lower cost," said Mr. Gingrich. "CDHCC ( http://www.cdhcc.com/ ) is the leading venue bringing together all the stakeholders. With the implementation of the next generation CDHCC product, Health Savings Accounts, starting January 2005, this year's event is particularly timely."
A key function of CHT is to identify transforming solutions and technologies that increase quality and decrease cost and therefore advance a 21st Century intelligent health system. Mr. Gingrich stated, "TETHIC ( http://www.tethic.com/ ) will help us identify and network with the leaders on the front lines of innovation and health transformation."
"There is real hope that we can eliminate cancer as a cause of death by 2015. Moreover, it is well within our reach to eradicate many of the devastating complications caused by diabetes," states Mr. Gingrich. "Forums such as HCRIC are vital to accelerate the process of "discover-develop- deliver" turning discovery into usable knowledge and products that save lives." HCRIC ( http://www.hcric.com/ ) is a gathering of individuals and organizations that bring "research innovations to clinical practice." Attendees include representatives of the biopharmaceutical and device industries, scientists, government agencies, regulatory authorities, mass media, and the financial community.
"The event dates of November 29th to December 1st in Washington, D.C. offer a strategic time and location just four weeks post election. This will be the first significant forum addressing the next administration's healthcare agenda and will be the event where healthcare industry stakeholders will debate the issues and actions necessary to accelerate the transformation and standardization of the healthcare industry. We are pleased that so many healthcare organizations like The Center for Health Transformation are participating and holding membership meetings with us," said Skip Brickley, CEO of The Emergent Group.
