We are geared for yet another great meetup so RSVP quickly :)
Our agenda will be a bit different this time around with only one company actually presenting their service - ZocDoc.

ZocDoc has been around since 2007 and started making a difference for consumers right form the start. They kicked off the service starting with NYC. Karsten Vagner, Director of Communications, will present the platform, but also talk about their recent expansion to the West Coast.

Last meetup we briefly touched on the 576 page document from ONC and meaningful use, so the rest of the time we will spend on this topic. I could not think of anyone better to lead this discussion but Paul Roemer, managing partner of of the consulting firm Healthcare IT Strategy, based just outside of Philadelphia. His company's focus is helping large health care providers solve business problems by aligning their healthcare IT strategy around reform, EHR and Meaningful use. They assess EHRs, workflow improvement, and change management. Paul's focus is heath care transformation and problem resolution using a range of tools including; IT, strategy and solutions management. The AMA wrote about Paul that he is a person to watch, someone who is shaping the discussion about how to transform the business model of healthcare. Paul has a record of leveraging leadership expertise in P&L management, international business development, process reengineering, customer relationships and strategy design/execution to drive dynamic gains in revenue, profit, and performance in startup and mature environments. He has built three profitable consulting organizations, two for the Big 8, and have had his own firm for 14 years. He is a graduate of the Owen School at Vanderbilt University.

As you can imagine, we are very excited for Paul to lead a session around the topic that is near and dear to us all.

Agenda for February Meetup:
6:30 - 7:00pm Networking (Some healthy snacks and drinks)
7:00 - 7:20pm ZocDoc - Karten Vagner, Director of Communications
7:20 - 8:00pm Paul Roemer, Managing Partner, Healthcare IT Strategy

I am sure that we will run longer then 8 :)

See you in a few weeks

Thanks
