The 2nd International Medical Tourism Conference

Defining the Best Practices and Enabling Technologies for Connecting U.S. Consumers to Global Care
The globalization of healthcare promises very low cost and very high quality medical treatment. Through technologies facilitating telemedicine and personal health records enabling the secure transfer of information, the patient is guaranteed an unbroken continuum of care before, during and after treatment. For the first time, International Medical Centers will gather in one place to showcase their capabilities and join the discussion with U.S. employers, providers, financial institutions and others.
Also exclusive to this conference, representatives from McKinsey & Company will present the results of a new study answering five driving questions of medical tourism, including the size & scope of the industry, what successful operators are doing, and preconditions for future success.
"Wake up, America! If you think our foreign competitors don't see HUGE opportunities to beat us in healthcare because of our failings in IT and our screwed up system, think again. We are at a crossroads here. American healthcare as an industry is at risk of collapsing just like that freeway bridge in Minneapolis." - Bill Crounse, MD, Worldwide Health Director, Microsoft; Consumer Health World Advisory Board Member
