Healthcare IT: The Approaching Consulting Profession

The healthcare industry is perhaps the most attractive new frontier for consulting and technology firms throughout the US. Considered to be the #1 investment area right now, healthcare IT has opened up a new world of opportunity for all types of service providers, including our consulting community.

But consultants entering this new frontier need to be more than technology experts to gain opportunity within healthcare IT; the healthcare industry has many unique variables and pitfalls that make it drastically different than other tech sectors. To find success, consultants must be prepared to address the specific knowledge and expertise that healthcare executives demand.

Come join us May 18th as we look at this new future of healthcare IT, how both providers and tech vendors will potentially need to collaborate with the consulting community to make it happen, and how the consulting community can be better prepared to answer the call.

This discussion will specifically look to:
Examine the impact of the recently passed healthcare reform legislation on healthcare IT and what it will mean for the prospects of increased technology adoption by healthcare providers.
Address some of the key elements making up the healthcare IT market and how the market’s demand is expected to evolve over the next decade.
Identify where the opportunities lie in this space for outside advisors and other service providers.
Identify obstacles service providers will face in the healthcare IT market and ways to overcome them.

This discussion will be led by Mark Reiboldt, an economist and vice president at Coker Capital Advisors, where he focuses on providing transaction services to healthcare technology and services firms.
