BRENTWOOD, Tenn., May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Change Healthcare President and CEO Doug Ghertner will present at Mercer's upcoming Innovation Symposium, which will take place in two cities over two weeks this month: In Palo Alto, Calif., on May 6 and 7, and in New York, NY on May 13 and 14. The events will be attended by select employers, as well as healthcare industry thought leaders, entrepreneurs and investors.
"I look forward to being a part of what I'm certain will be a powerful discussion on the importance of cost transparency and consumer engagement in healthcare," Ghertner said. "As employers continue to struggle to manage their healthcare costs and consumers are increasingly faced with greater out-of-pocket responsibility, the time for a best-in-class engagement strategy is now. This means leveraging robust data; providing effective benefits education; and proactively engaging consumers with personalized quality and cost information."
