Kaufman Hall Executives Will Show How to Develop a Competitive Virtual/Telehealth Strategy at HFMA ANI 2016

Skokie, IL, June 14, 2016 – Kaufman Hall (booth #612), a leading provider of strategic, capital and financial advisory services and software tools to healthcare organizations, today announced that two of its senior executives have been selected to present at the Healthcare Financial Management Association’s Annual National Institute (HFMA ANI), June 26-29, in Las Vegas.

In the educational session “Developing a Virtual/Telehealth Strategy,” Kaufman Hall Senior Vice Presidents, Dan Clarin and Jason O’Riordan will explain why virtual care delivery offerings are critical to the success of healthcare organizations in today’s consumer-centric care environment. Additionally, the presenters will lay out a roadmap evaluating market conditions and competitors, and maximizing the opportunities for telehealth. The presentation will take place on Monday, June 27th at 2:15 p.m. PST.

The sustainability of the traditional hospital provider-based model is being continually challenged by technological advances, payer and purchaser demands, and new consumer expectations. Telehealth and virtual health services in particular are exploding, offering a range of applications, including basic diagnoses, physician consultation, patient education, and remote monitoring. These advances are reshaping traditional patient-provider communications and redefining access to healthcare, putting pressure on providers to develop new strategies for remaining competitive in the long-term.

“As healthcare evolves, providers are realizing the importance of offering their services through the most convenient and affordable avenues to meet modern consumer demands,” said Clarin. “However, providers are largely unprepared for this transition and the significant effect it will have on their businesses. This session is the perfect opportunity to share the implications of a telehealth strategy in terms of market share, patient utilization, financial impacts, and which service lives will be most affected.”

Kaufman Hall will be exhibiting at HFMA ANI in booth #612 and will be offering demonstrations of Axiom Software.
