A Benefit Professional’s Guide to South Carolina’s Healthcare Provider Landscape |
The Carolinas Chapter was pleased to welcome Dr. Tripp Jennings to the beautiful Benefitfocus campus in Charleston, SC. Special thanks to Misty Guinn for arranging the facility.
Dr. Jennings gave an engaging presentation on the state of health care, using interactive data to show trends over time, and impacts of various strategies and policies on that data. He discussed emerging technologies, predictive modeling to identify health issues before they manifest, Nanobodies and the merging of medicine and technology, and the use of genetic testing to identify optimal diet by individual. He challenged traditional thinking, and shared several stories of low cost/high quality solutions enabled through innovative methods to approaching data, including how a $400 set of tires was used to save tens of thousands of dollars in medical costs.
We thank those that attended the session, and hope to see you all at future Chapter events around the Carolinas and at Symposium!
