The Coker Group, a marketing partner of the DFW Hospital Council, will be hosting its monthly webinar “Coffee with Coker” on May 18 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. EDT. The topic is “Top Health IT Trends and Innovations for 2017: What you Must Know to Stay Ahead in Today’s Market.” Guest speaker will be Terry Wilk, a former healthcare CIO and senior vice president with Coker.

Healthcare IT continues to see a rapid pace of change. Computer system performance increases almost daily while costs to acquire and run these more powerful computers continue to decrease. New technologies and healthcare apps for iPads, iPhones and other mobile devices are rolling out at an incredible speed. With this speed of change, concerns about digital security breaches and confidentiality are abundant.

The session will review several emerging trends that today’s health IT leaders must know to best position their organizations to improve patient care and reduce costs during the transition to value-based care.
