lifeIMAGE is a leading national provider of solutions for universal e-sharing of medical images. The company recently announced that co-founder and CEO Hamid Tabatabaie will be a keynote speaker at the "Health 2.0 in the Hospital," discussion at the Health 2.0 conference. The conference is scheduled to take place between September 25-27, 2011 and will be held in San Francisco. Tabatabaie will speak about the company's vision for creating a unified communication platform for medical image sharing to benefit providers and patients during the panel discussion.
In a release, Tabatabaie said, "Despite advances in healthcare IT, sharing medical images among doctors and across hospital systems is often still the responsibility of the patient or overnight couriers. Many of the nation's most highly regarded hospitals are using our cloud based system to dramatically improve collaboration inside and outside their hospital systems; and trending information indicates continued growth for even more sophisticated collaboration over the network into 2012. I anticipate the panel discussion will be lively and full of actionable information about more effective ways for improving care through medical image sharing."
The Health 2.0 conference is used by most of the leading companies to launch the latest health technology (HIT) products. Most companies participate in this conference in order to get a preview of the latest innovations in patient care improvement as well as source out new talent.
Matthew Holt, Health 2.0 co-founder said that "Health 2.0 is known as a forum for ground-breaking ideas and technology. Hamid's years of experience in medical imaging will offer attendees insights built upon hundreds of case studies with hospital systems around the world. We ask all speakers to provide guidance for those in the trenches who want to change medicine for the better. The panel on Health 2.0 in the Hospital fits squarely within that mission."
Tabatabaie has nearly 27 years of experience in the healthcare information technology industry. His previous position from 1999 to 2005 was that of chief executive officer of AMICAS, which is a web-based picture archiving and communication system company.
Tabatabaie went on to say that "Today's medical image-sharing technology is game changing. The forces of technology, work flow, and diagnostic best practices are all converging at the right time; at a powerful point where outcomes are improved dramatically with some relatively small changes. All of the most forward thinking professionals in the field are paying attention."
