BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Sep 27, 2013) - Health 2.0 Annual Fall Conference 2013 - Booth #410 - Oct. 1, 2013 -- NaviNet, America's largest healthcare communications network, today announced that Frank Ingari, chief executive officer, NaviNet, will speak at the Health 2.0 Annual Fall Conference 2013, which is being held Sept. 29-Oct. 2, 2013, in Santa Clara, Calif.

For health plans to be able to transform relationships with providers, they will need a new provider network technology strategy and infrastructure, one that goes beyond electronic data interchange (EDI) and a provider portal. Mr. Ingari will focus on why the network is the right foundation on which to build a platform that payers, providers, and patients need.

In a presentation to the Health 2.0 7^th Annual Fall Conference 2013 audience, Mr. Ingari will examine the role of the network platform of the future for healthcare and how NaviNet will play a critical part. Secure, adaptable networks are emerging as a critical enabler of healthcare reform. Big data investments have demonstrated promise, but results are inconclusive and slow in coming. Many believe improvements in cost, quality, and patient experience will require a robust multifunctional network that can help coordinate care across the decentralized, heterogeneous system of health plans, agencies, hospitals, labs, specialists, and primary care physicians.

This presentation describes a vision of the Healthcare Communications Network, built as a software platform, with multiple communications modalities ranging from real-time intervention to messaging to secure data file transfers. NaviNet, already operating a nationwide communications network, is rapidly expanding its offering to become such a platform.
