What you'll learn
What is it about blockchain technology that compels us to want to break the business process norm and collaborate with competitors with the goal of positively transforming healthcare?
Maria Palombini, a blockchain enthusiast and Director of Emerging Communities & Initiatives Development for the IEEE Standards Association, will answer that question in this informative live webinar. She is the founder of DisruptiveRx, an information gateway addressing the critical need for pharmaceutical and life sciences executives to connect innovation with business strategy to re-think the pharmaceutical value chain. As an accomplished leader and public speaker, Palombini brings passion to the conversation of "changing the status quo" through adopting key emerging technologies.
Learning points in this discussion will include:
- What blockchain technology can do
- How blockchain solves fundamental challenges in the security, privacy, distribution of data generated out of the healthcare ecosystem
- How it can play a significant role in optimizing, reducing fraud, costs & waste in the healthcare industry
- Security, policy, cultural, technical and global considerations
- Where consensus-driven technical standards and guidance will enable effective and accepted adoption of the technology
- Getting involved: pre/standards, initiative-building and educational activities with the IEEE and HIMSS
