THANK YOU to @pnphealth for including the #patient voice in their #WinterSummit and giving me the opportunity to share my story. Patients have arrived and finally fit into the #healthcare system! Whoohoo!!

[Plug and Play Health @pnphealth]

Now our #healthtech keynote @ericachain is taking the stage and we can't wait to hear from her on her #PatientExperience after being #diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and working to help change #healthcare.

And that’s a wrap...THANK YOU, @mtesquivel @LifeSciencesLaw @FenwickWest!

Amazing day of bringing industry leaders together for meaningful discussions, valuable insights, igniting new connections, and fostering collaboration! 🙌#digitalhealth18

[erica chain @ericachain]

WOW. Unlike similar industry events, the speaker lineup at #DigitalHealth18 has MORE representation from females than men. Have only seen stats like this at @Rock_Health events. 👭👭👭

BRAVO, @LifeSciencesLaw, @mtesquivel!! 🙌 THANK YOU for your intentionality. 🙏

Packed house at @LifeSciencesLaw #Digitalhealth18...@Rock_Health Managing Director and CEO Bill Evans dives in with the State of #DigitalHealth Funding.
Answers burning question “Is digital health/venture in an era of a bubble?”

[erica chain @ericachain]

Let’s go! #DigitalHealth minds unite...@mtesquivel from @LifeSciencesLaw kicks off Fenwick’s seventh annual Digital Health Summit.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Cancer patients own their data, not hospitals. #CountMeIn empowers patients to contribute their data for research. To find cures.

We are changing the culture of cancer research — sharing data, breaking down silos, and forming new collaborations. We can do this.

The promise of technology in healthcare according to @TobyCosgroveMD: more and more intellectual capabilities are bringing new opportunities in how we care for people. #RHSUM18

So for the nerds out there...
Technology + Healthcare = Opportunities for better patient care

[Rock Health @Rock_Health]

“Let’s get real about the cloud.” Diving into our final session with @TobyCosgroveMD and @chrissyfarr on big tech’s bets in healthcare. #RHSUM18

Acquisition is the new #IPO...as evidenced by the @Roche acquisition of @flatironhealth
#RHSUM18

[Rock Health @Rock_Health]

No IPOs since 2016—but #digitalhealth companies are the most common acquirers of other digital health companies, per Rock Health research and CEO Bill Evans #RHSUM18

[Rock Health @Rock_Health]

Catching up with both sides in one of the year’s biggest acquisitions:

“We did not absorb @flatironhealth into @Roche. And that was to allow the innovation to continue to flourish.”

Cliff notes for State of Inclusion in Healthcare panel:
1. You can’t manage what you don’t measure
2. Start on day one
3. We all need to do that work

[erica chain @ericachain]

Where the ladies at???
@dawnlaguens from @PPFA calls out that even though females are the primary decision makers in healthcare, only 3% of healthcare #CEOs are women. #RHSUM18

We can do better. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[erica chain @ericachain]

BRAVO, @collective! 🙌
59% of overall employees are female...intentionality yielded that result, but there was still a wage gap. Key is to hold yourself accountable.

THANK YOU for your commitment to #DiversityandInclusion, @alidiab! #RHSUM18

“#Diversity is when you invite someone to the party, #Inclusion is when you #dance.” @DrIvorHorn
#RHSUM18
Who has a dance party going on at their org???
🙋🏻‍♀️ one of @genentech‘s goals is to bring more women into leadership positions with over 40% of leaders being female. 🙌

[erica chain @ericachain]

Real talk. #Diversity and #Inclusion

So excited for this next one up on #RHSUM18 stage...The State of Inclusion in #Healthcare (and why it matters) panel moderated by @halletecco with @DrIvorHorn @dawnlaguens @alidiab

[Rock Health @Rock_Health]

Call to action from @KBDeSalvo @Farzad_MD: “You can’t just write in about what you don’t like. They need 20K people saying, ‘free the data.’ People need to actually participate in the process.” #RHSUM18

[erica chain @ericachain]

Kicking off day two of #RHSUM18 with @MeganKZweig talking how @OscarHealth is shaking up the payer landscape. Shift to #Telemedicine to lower cost of care...in 2017, 1 of 6 episodes of care was telemed. Love the utilization of #technology to improve #patient care!

“Henry J. Kaiser was an industrialist who wanted to give his employees better care. He was an outsider who created what is now $80B @KPShare. There’s no reason outsiders can’t change the lives of millions of people.” @BernardJTyson #RHSUM18
