“The rate of change in healthcare today is exponentially faster than it was a decade ago,” said CHIME Board of Trustees Chair John Kravitz, Corporate CIO at Geisinger. “We are seeing digital innovations that are vastly improving the delivery and management of care for the communities that we serve. Our members are enthusiastic about the direction the industry is going and the opportunity to enrich health and care with digital technology. As an industry-leading event that will convene executive leaders from across the health and care spectrum, ViVE positions our members to lead that change.”
“With rapid digital health adoption and accelerated readiness to accept new modes of care delivery and engagement, there’s a pressing need to convene health IT executives around digital transformation,” said Jonathan Weiner, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of HLTH. “ViVE was created to respond to the demand for a reimagined health technology event during this exciting and tumultuous time for healthcare and provides a complement to HLTH’s digital health innovation ecosystem event in the Fall.”
“The creative energy between the HLTH and CHIME teams was evident from the beginning,” said CHIME President and CEO Russell P. Branzell. “We share a vision for what an event should offer: fresh, invigorating learning and networking opportunities in a purposeful environment. ViVE, the result of this collaboration, will be the catalyst to advance health and care.”
The CHIME and HLTH collaboration represents the new powerhouse presence in the health events arena. CHIME brings expertise in high-quality, peer-driven education and a global community of senior and executive digital health leaders, while HLTH draws digital changemakers and innovators from across the health ecosystem. ViVE will build on these strengths to create a setting built on relationships and respect; that fosters rapid problem solving and business growth and engenders collaboration between leaders with many different perspectives.
