ATP is joining forces with the Four Corners Telehealth Consortium and the Southwest Telehealth Resource Center to host the
first-ever Telemedicine and Telehealth Service Provider Showcase, October 6th and 7th, at the Hyatt Regency in downtown
Phoenix.
The Service Provider Showcase (SPS) will bring together companies that provide medical specialty services using telemedicine technology to hospitals, clinics, health-care systems,
private practices and other providers that want to offer these
services to their patients.
“It’s time to create an environment in which service providers
can gather with health-care providers and develop a shared
agenda for the future.”“Our industry has reached critical
mass,” said Ronald S. Weinstein, MD, director and co-founder
of the ATP, president emeritus of the American Telemedicine
Association (ATA), honorary co-chair of SPS and a pioneer in
the telemedicine field. “It’s time to create an environment in
which service providers can gather with health-care providers
and develop a shared agenda for the future.”
SPS will feature about 30 exhibitors, and is expected to draw
up to 300 attendees, including health-care administrators,
government officials, policy experts, physicians, nurses, health
plans and telemedicine and telehealth equipment vendors.
