The day was buzzing starting with a firestarter talk from Hal Wolf of the Permanente Federation. This was then followed by a series of fast paced 4×4 (four slides in four minutes) presentations from 14 presenters.

Our participants were drawn from all different backgrounds but they all applied a tremendous amount of passion to changing health care. Here is some of the commentary from the day:

The Disruptive Women in Health Care Blog put together a great Storify stream. Ted Eytan also published a great blog post with a slew of superb photos from HealthCampDC and the Walking Gallery.

Update: Even more photos from HealthCampDC

Opening Session with Mark Scrimshire @ekivemark

And people were tweeting up a storm. We reached over 250,000 people and generated over 3.1 million Tweet impressions via the #HCDC hashtag.

Robin Strongin, President and CEO of Amplify Public Affairs and Founder and Creator of the Disruptive Women in Health Care blog will be presenting one of the 4x4s.

We also have Regina Holliday, the tireless artist and Patient Advocate and organizer of The Walking Gallery joining us. All in all everyone should be in for a really thought provoking day.

David Yakimischak, Senior VP and General Manager of ePrescribing at Surescripts will be presenting about Quality Management in the e-Prescribing world.

For those of you in Health Care that love big data stats I am sure there will be some treats in store for you. I am going to be fascinated to see how David can bring his wealth of Technology and HealthCare experience gained over the past 25 years and condense it in to just four minutes. Have your questions ready and may be you can persuade David to stick around and lead a discussion session later in the day at HealthCamp. After all, it is you the participants that will be setting the agenda as a collaborative effort immediately after the 4×4 presentations.

Disruptive Women in Health Care

From its very outset, the Disruptive Women (www.disruptivewomen.net) blog stated that its mission was “to serve as a platform for provocative ideas, thoughts, and solutions in the health sphere.” Now in its fourth year, the blog has not only achieved its stated mission, but exceeded it. Disruptive Women has become an online destination for innovative thinking on exciting health trends and current health policy issues. The Disruptive Women blog has become a thought leader and influencer in its own right, receiving numerous awards and accolades including being named “one of the top health policy blogs” by HealthTech and a “Fierce Female Healthcare Blog To Watch” by Fierce Healthcare. Today, there are nearly 100 global contributors, including former Members of Congress and other elected officials, health professionals, technology leaders, patient advocates, medical researchers, economists and thought leaders. This stellar roster continues to grow with more individuals whose provocative ideas and eye-opening insights make them Disruptive Women. The Disruptive Women blog, which also features a regular Man of the Month post, continues to evolve by addressing today’s pressing health care issues with innovative and exciting thematic posts, e-books and in-person events. Disruptive Women is a project conceived of and owned by Amplify Public Affairs.
