On November 10-12, 2003, The Emergent Group will convene health care executives and senior decision makers from the employer community to discuss the health care consumer phenomenon and the future of health care delivery at the Consumer Directed Health Care Conference and Expo (CDHCC).
CDHCC will share keynote presentations and a common exhibition floor with the Healthcare Delivery Solutions Congress, combining to offer more than 200 speakers who will address their respective targeted communities in more than 100 concurrent sessions.
The CDHCC program will offer distinct pre-conference tracks aimed at the employer, provider, health plan, and agent/broker communities, and one track for participants interested in government plans and pending legislation. Conference tracks will be aimed at the employer, provider, and health plan communities, plus direct-to-consumer (DTC)/mature markets and digital health/telemedicine.
