In this podcast, Sam VanNorman, director of business intelligence at Park Nicollet Health System, discusses how his integrated healthcare system, located in St. Louis Park, Minnesota is moving forward as a CMS Pioneer ACO and what his organization has learned so far about accountable care and its data and information facilitation. This podcast gives a preview of the panel, "ACOs: Policy Strategic and IT Issues," that VanNorman will be headlining at the Healthcare Informatics Executive Summit to be held May 6 through the 8 in Orlando. He will be joined on this panel by colleagues Daniel Garrett, leader, Health Information Technology Practice, PriceWaterhouseCoopers; Dr. Jeffrey Rose, M.D., vice president of clinical excellence, Informatics, Ascension Health; and Jeff Petry, vice president strategic initiatives, Premier Health Alliance.
