New York, NY – Spreemo recently announced that it will host the Inaugural Quality Research (“QRI”) Summit on Friday, October 21st in New York City. The QRI Summit will feature leading healthcare experts – from clinicians and data scientists to researchers and payers – coming together to share diverse perspectives on the challenges and opportunities affecting the quality of patient care.
The one-day Summit will provide attendees an opportunity to hear insights from industry thought leaders on the most pressing issues shaping the future of patient care, including:
- Hear preeminent physicians talk about the challenges and solutions in the treatment of back pain, the #1 cause of disability
- Learn how big (and small) data is being leveraged to create actionable, outcome improving strategies
- Learn from the nation’s largest payers how value-based reimbursement models are being applied to align stakeholders, and improve outcomes and reduce costs
“The healthcare industry is facing huge challenges, including a high number of preventable medical errors and a lack of objective quality information that payers, providers and most importantly, patients can rely on to make informed decisions,” said Spreemo’s CEO Ron Vianu. “We’re very excited to have the opportunity to bring together leading experts to exchange ideas, fostering innovation and collaboration.”
