healthcare boot camp recap
The speakers at healthcare boot camp jammed a foundation of healthcare information into just one day. Speakers covered the gamut — from FDA regulation to revenue models to new HHS initiatives to promote innovation.
For those who want the spark notes edition, we mined through all the tweets from the day to uncover 140-or-less character take-aways. If those aren’t enough check out the HCBC videos (be sure to download latest version of sliver light add on).
