June 14, 2011

Tom Szostak, manager, Healthcare Economics, Toshiba, spoke as part of a panel on the topic of “Key Influences That Are Driving Physicians and Hospitals to Align” at the 12th Annual New Cardiovascular Horizons (NCVH) meeting on Thursday, June 2, 2011. The meeting took place in New Orleans June 1 – 4.

Szostak’s presentation, “Health Economics Driving Integration,” gave an overview of the healthcare landscape and factors influencing physicians and group practices to integrate with hospitals, providing attendees with information about the Affordable Care Act and a view of new health economics. With these changes rapidly approaching, providers of healthcare services are looking to vendors like Toshiba for guidance in navigating through the new payment models, requirements and terminology.
