Chasity Chase, Chief Financial Officer, Wilmington Health |
Healthcare Cost Comparison – Where to find it and what to look for?We all see it every month in the employee benefits section on our financial statement…Health Insurance. What we don’t know is how can we better manage that cost? And with the advent of the Affordable Care Act, we all feel like we are at the mercy of the government and insurance industry. Chasity Chace will provide real data on how healthcare providers locally are leading the way to help business owners and managers keep the costs of healthcare down. With access to data that compares local, regional, and national healthcare entities, Chasity will be identifying activities that the healthcare community are undertaking to reduce the cost of care delivered and how it can impact your bottom line. Attendees will walk away with a greater understanding of where the costs of healthcare are and how they can better manage their future financial statements by being a more active participant in advocating healthcare choices to their employees. |

Can “Big Data” Lower Marketing Costs For Your Local Business?Driving more revenue begins with an understanding of your customers; how they behave, where they spend their time online and how they think about your product. Customers aren't always in the same frame of mind when considering your product and behave differently while considering your business. With "Big Data", or vast amounts of actual purchasing data, you can target your best fit customers at the exact moment they’re behaving like a good fit for your business. |
