Leading Healthcare Systems Find Value in IDN Summit

Lori Weaver - Monday, August 15, 2011

By John Kelly, CEO, IDN Summit
The IDN Summit always attracts an outstanding group of IDNs and September’s event is no exception. It’s a testament to the quality educational programming and networking opportunities that exist for Summit participants.

Healthcare system attendees taking part in the 2011 Fall IDN Summit represent what are undoubtedly the leading providers in today’s healthcare industry. The opportunities for networking, sharing of ideas and insight, and forging of new business relationships are boundless, something these systems recognize as crucial to their organizations’ futures.

Looking over the list of participating IDNs for the upcoming Summit, I couldn’t help but notice that five appear on the Thomson Reuters 10 Top Health Systems list— CareGroup Healthcare System (Beth Israel), Kettering Health Network, Maury Regional Healthcare System, Mayo Foundation and OhioHealth. Also registered for the Fall IDN Summit is Virgin Mason Medical Center, one of two systems named “Leapfrog Top Hospitals of the Decade” by The Leapfrog Group, while two of the top three systems on the “Best Hospitals Honor Roll” developed by U.S. News & World Report are represented, along with the top children’s hospital as ranked by that same publication.

While I mention only a small number by name, the honors and rankings that these participating organizations have achieved are very much indicative of the caliber of all registered systems that find value in the IDN Summit experience. I hope you find your Summit experience to be just as valuable to you and your organization, and look forward to seeing you Sept. 13-15 in Phoenix.

"We always recommend the IDN Summit meetings as a 'top show' for networking opportunities. The chance to work with such a large audience of high level decision-makers in one setting allows for a quick assimilation into the corporate account arena and provides strategic opportunities for any supplier. It is also a great occasion to stay close to the issues affecting healthcare delivery and a venue to be involved in improving them."

"There hasn’t been a more important time for CEOs to be engaged in the healthcare supply chain than now. Balancing the need to be technologically advanced with the need to maintain solid financial footing means that leaders have to examine their supply chain as an integral part of system strategy. What I want to accomplish at the IDN Summit, and beyond, is to get the right kind of dialogue going with the right people."
