Imagine you are sitting next to your CEO on Day 75 of your 90-day “probationary period,” and he leans over and says, “This is the weirdest conference I’ve ever attended.” If you’re in marketing, you advocated for your company to sponsor the conference, and you hope to be a “Day 76 probie,” your only response can be, “Weird great, right?”

NaviNet was pleased to participate in the World Healthcare Innovation and Technology Congress (WHIT) in DC, where we were fortunate to participate in a panel as well as attend several interesting sessions. The sixth annual conference brought together health plans, government officials, providers and other healthcare stakeholders to educate and address “strategic, organizational and IT decisions” in the ever-changing healthcare industry.

This means having all the right patient data at the right time, all in one easy-to-access location. This could include medical history, all physician and specialist visits, lab results, diagnosis, prescriptions and more.
