Attendees will also learn about value-based care, industry trends in reimbursement, and tech-driven payment opportunities that can increase cost-effectiveness and quality of care.

Books will kick off the event by sharing his vision of a future built on specialized technology expertise shaped through trusted partnerships. John Gresham, President of Net Health Wound Care, will then host a fireside chat with Dr. Nayyar, a globally recognized Chief Medical Officer, technologist, and Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of "Dead Wrong: Diagnosing and Treating Healthcare's Misinformation Illness."
