Attention Chief Medical Officers! If you enjoy getting together with folks in similar roles, learning from each other, sharing insights and experiences that drive clinical change, take a look at this #CMO Summit produced by marcus evans Group. We are gathering in Boston in just a few weeks to do just that. With an agenda that will cover crucial subjects... Steven D. Brass, MD, MPH, MBA, FACHE will present on Change Management with crucial insights and designed with the CMO in mind. Doug McKee, M.D., FAAFP, FAMIA will present the Value of Tech in Healthcare: For Better or For Worse? Gil Padula, MD returns to the Summit and shares a Candid Assessment of Physician Burnout, along with Lewis Marshall. We will hear from other CMOs about Career Growth, about Multi-Disciplinary ecosystems, and, of course everyone's favorite topic, #AI. We will hear from CMIOs and CNOs, too, as we gather together and hear multiple perspectives. Finally, we will have a discussion about a stark reality in healthcare organizations; organized labor efforts amongst physicians. As the lead moderator, I will do my best to address and unpack this uncomfortable domain that is occupying our collective attention these days. Given the opposing forces for change and structural inequities in healthcare today, it is fitting that we will meet in #Boston, "the birthplace of the American Revolution." While I cannot predict any dumping of tea in Boston Harbor during our time together, I can safely say that attendees will be empowered and recharged about their role in shaping (revolutionizing??) healthcare when they return home to their communities.

💡 The Power of Care Coordination in Healthcare 💡 In today’s fast-paced healthcare world, patients face more than just medical challenges. From booking appointments to managing prescriptions and understanding treatment plans, the process can quickly become overwhelming. This is where care coordination plays a crucial role.

When done right, it improves health outcomes, reduces costly hospital readmissions, and creates a smoother experience for both patients and providers.

At Nextcare.Life, we recognize that trust is the cornerstone of everything we do. In healthcare, trust is not just important—it’s essential. Without trust, even the most innovative products, like our Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), digital prescription converter, Smart Lab Reports, and Symptoms Bot, are just technologies. They become commodities in a crowded marketplace, with no true connection to the patients and healthcare providers we aim to serve. Trust transforms these products into valuable, reliable solutions that people can depend on for critical decisions about their health. Similarly, advertising without trust is merely noise—claims without credibility fall flat. At Nextcare.Life, we are committed to building trust by consistently delivering solutions that are safe, accurate, and designed to improve healthcare outcomes. Our reputation is built not just on the strength of our technology, but on the trust we earn from healthcare providers, patients, and partners who know that we put patient safety and precision at the forefront of our innovations. Every communication we make, every product we release, is backed by this unwavering commitment to trust. By ensuring transparency, data security, and delivering measurable results, we can turn what would otherwise be noise into meaningful conversations and long-term partnerships that position Nextcare.Life as a trusted leader in the digital health space.

Medimanage has been recognized as one of the Top Healthcare Consulting Provider In latin America by Healthcare Business Review. Medimanage aims to bridge the gap caused by the growing inaccessibility of healthcare consulting services, which is adversely affecting the impact of medical treatments. In Mexico, tailored advisory offerings are mostly used by large hospitals with the resources to afford premium solutions and manage the heavy compliance expenses required to constantly update quality and certification processes across medical operations. This leaves medium and small-sized hospitals with outdated process frameworks, limiting their ability to adapt to the dynamic changes in patient expectations and care delivery. “Our main goal is to educate care providers in Mexico and across Latin America on achieving quality certifications and long-term profitability in the ever-evolving healthcare landscape,” says Dr. Hector Herrerra Bello, CEO Medimanage. The article will also be featured in the forthcoming special print edition on Healthcare Consulting 2024.
