MEDecision recently convened its Sixth Annual Chief Medical Officer Forum (CMOF), which brought together an outstanding representation of physician executives from throughout MEDecision’s diverse customer base. The event was supported by facilitation provided by faculty members of the American College of Physician Executives. Our theme for the CMO Forum, which has been officially recognized for AMA PRA Category I CME credits, was “Navigating and Transforming the Health Care Environment.”
As one might expect with a gathering of individuals from these respective backgrounds, some of the latest “hot button” industry issues were a source of terrific dialogue. In fact, this was in large part by design. We constructed the event this year to facilitate greater discussion and interaction, and I was quite pleased with the results and feedback. I think this format served to provide a unique forum for our attendees to engage with one another, to share ideas among themselves and to draw conclusions which they could then further expand and apply according to their individual circumstances. The end-game of all of this, of course, was to empower the participants to return to their respective organizations with enhanced insights and ability to champion and influence health care transformation. And frankly, we hoped the CMOF would be a setting in which our physician executives could take some quality time out from everyday demands to immerse themselves in current issues and come away with new or strengthened ideas for developing effective solutions.
As we navigated the agenda for the day-long event, we covered a broad range of pertinent topics. The level of engagement by and sharing of insights from everyone in the room was evident and gave us valuable diverse perspectives. In the coming weeks I hope to be able to cover some of these issues in this blog so I encourage you to check back often for updates.
Overall the CMO Forum was an energizing and dynamic experience for all of us. I believe we came away with some great ideas that will help each of us as individuals, and certainly MEDecision as an organization, deftly drive opportunities in the challenging and evolving health care market.
