Mede Leadership Summit Fall 2007 in Montréal, Quebec

The 2007 Leadership Summit was a groundbreaking event packed with insightful and invaluable perspectives among healthcare industry thought leaders, providers and payers. Mede' most successful Summit yet, the unravelling of payer and provider conflict began. How do they each measure performance? Why don't they measure common statistics? How can they begin building the trust necessary to improve their own performance as well as overall health care?

Blue Shield of CA, "BSC", unveiled their provider dashboard initiative, designed to improve hospital partner relationships by measuring and sharing claim and billing information. As a result of this presentation an impromptu, productive dialogue ensued with an attending BSC hospital partner. An all day working session between the two, with a wider audience, was scheduled to begin a collaborative effort to identify problem areas and resolution opportunities utilizing Mede' analytics platform.

The Mede Signature Dinner was a spectacular event in full Mede style. Entertainment by Cirque de Soleil, an amazing magician and an impromptu guest performance, created a memorable evening with new Mede friends.
