What Does Healthcare Reform Mean to
San Diego Businesses?
The recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (or healthcare reform law) is attempting to insure more Americans, lower costs and impose new taxes on medical devices. How does the enactment of this far reaching legislation change the way San Diego wireless health and life sciences companies conduct business? San Diego has played an important foundational role in the formation of the wireless healthcare market. How do Don Casey, the CEO of the West Wireless Health Institute, Mike Murphy, the CEO of Sharp Hospitals and Dave Schlotterbeck, the CEO of CareFusion, view this important piece of legislation? What are the opportunities, threats and possibilities for San Diego businesses and how will this industry respond to the new law.
The panel is preceded by a Wireless Health Expo featuring the latest innovations in wireless health products and services. Attendees have an opportunity to experience the latest technologies as well as network with industry representatives from the mHealth sector.
