The Naked Hospital is a super roundtable, half day event being held August 26th, 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Jamison Hall in The Factory at Franklin.
Transparency has become even more important in the past year as we begin the healthcare reform discussion. The Naked Hospital is the fist event in Nashville to bring quality, marketing, transparency, and technology in health care together. We will focus on how and why health systems and hospitals should focus on quality reporting as well as financial reporting. At the end of the day,this level of reporting puts additional strains on the information systems and resources deployed by most health systems and hospitals. How will they cope? What is the next step? The Naked Hospital will take the user experience from high level strategy through national and state legislative issues through practical, hands on tools to walk away with.

– Congressman Jim Cooper
– Miriam Paramore (SVP, Emdeon)
– Dr. Stephanie Bailey, MD, MSHSA (Former Chief of Public Health Practice, CDC)

Emdeon takes on Healthcare Efficiency
It is a busy time for Emdeon, a provider of revenue and payment cycle solutions and clinical data exchange. Emdeon, who holds the single largest national health information network, has recently launched an initiative that focuses on stopping the use of paper in basic business transactions in the healthcare industry, which in turn will save billions of dollars every year.
“We have partnered with the Center for Health Transformation, founded by Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and are working with federal and state governments, to offer ideas for achieving immediate savings,” Susanne Powell, Director of Corporate Communications for Emdeon, said. “The cornerstone of Emdeon’s efforts is the launch of the U.S. Healthcare Efficiency Index™ with a goal of creating a single national reference for tracking the industry’s transition from a paper-based manual system to an efficient electronic one.”
The development of the U.S. Healthcare Efficiency Index has been a year in the making. The idea that something needed to be done to conserve paper and save money came about during industry and public policy discussions.
“Miriam Paramore, Emdeon’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Government Affairs, spearheaded the development of the Index to raise awareness of potential savings and bring the industry together to measure progress and overcome any remaining barriers,” Powell said.
The Index is being launched in phases. Phase 1 is complete and highlights cost saving opportunities based on available industry data. Phase 2 is currently underway and includes primary research being conducted in partnership with the Owen School of Management at Vanderbilt. Data will be collected directly from payers and providers to provide an accurate measurement of progress. Future phases of the Index will expand its scope beyond medical claims to include dental, pharmacy, worker’s compensation and others. The information provided in each phase will become more specific as the Index progresses.
