Keynote sessions will focus on national and local public policy initiatives and on the hospital of the future.
Breakout sessions throughout the day will provide attendees with a full menu of topics, including system quality, analytics, information privacy, and project management.

The day will conclude with a panel discussion on MACRA and Payment Reform, featuring participants from the Ohio Health Information Partnership, the Health Services Advisory Group, Mercy Health, and Healthbridge.
Ajay Sharma, Program Chair for the chapter said, "Every year we try to strike a balance between the Healthcare provider and system solution vendors when we develop the program. This year though, our Taste of Healthcare conference in Cincinnati has seen an overwhelming response from our community Provider organizations to present on various topics of relevance for our Central & Southern Ohio HIMSS community."
Chapter President, Jeff Haas commented that, "We have Columbus, Dayton and host city Cincinnati represented for our event and have Keynotes from Cisco, talking about what's in store for us in 'the Hospital of the Future'; and HIMSS Regulatory Affairs, on the topic of MACRA. These are topics that are critical for our community to understand. We look forward to helping fill that need."
