Guided by a dedicated team of healthcare and information technology leaders, the conference topics and discussions were deep, robust, and intelligent. The Summit addressed an array of key topics including: [interoperability](https://www.himss.org/library/interoperability-standards/what-is-interoperability), information exchange networks, payment reform, [managed care models](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managed_care), health technology mobile apps, shared care planning, regulatory environments, [value-based payment](https://www.cms.gov/medicare/quality-initiatives-patient-assessment-instruments/value-based-programs/value-based-programs.html) and care reform.* Among the distinguished panelists and presenters were vendors serving senior living and healthcare, provider organizations, and industry innovators. As a conference exhibitor, the [Wellzesta](https://www.wellzesta.com/) team presented real-time demos and connected with both providers and fellow vendors. There were more take-aways than one can write about in an article, so instead, I'll offer up a few of the most interesting and forward-thinking quotations. > "*The 'Appification' of healthcare is where our future is going. There is both good and bad in this, but it offers expansion in interoperability.*" -Kevin Scalia, Corporate Development at [Netsmart](https://www.ntst.com/About-Us/Leadership-Team). > "*Value needs to be looked at in terms of outcomes, not cost. Let's stop making it just about the regulatory environment and focus our attention to the person's experience.*" - Steve Herron, Senior Director, Longterm and Post Acute Care, [Cerner](https://www.cerner.com/authors/steve-herron) > "*It's simply getting the right data to the right people at the right time for valuable decisions to be made.*" - Chuck Czarnik, Vice President, Data Engineering, [naviHealth](https://www.navihealth.com/) ![CAST HIT 1](https://articles.wellzesta.com/hubfs/CAST%20HIT%201.jpg)   We were also excited to see some innovative talent and technology coming from companies like: [Patient Pattern](https://patientpattern.com/) who is bringing frailty measurements to the forefront; [Soundmind](https://www.soundmindinc.com/) focused on voice assistance; [MyDirectives](https://mydirectives.com/) digital advance care planning from A|D Vault; [Keenly Health](https://www.keenlyhealth.com/) remote patient monitoring; and [ProviNET](https://www.provinet.com/)information technology consultants. ![CAST HIT 3](https://articles.wellzesta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CAST%20HIT%203.jpg?width=600&name=CAST%20HIT%203.jpg)   A special thank you to [LeadingAge CAST](https://www.leadingage.org/center-aging-services-technologies) for being a trusted voice around technologies that improve the aging experience. #CollabCareSummit       [collabcaresummit](https://articles.wellzesta.com/topic/collabcaresummit) [health IT summit](https://articles.wellzesta.com/topic/health-it-summit) [LeadingAge CAST](https://articles.wellzesta.com/topic/leadingage-cast) [LTPAC](https://articles.wellzesta.com/topic/ltpac) --- Main pages [Home](https://www.wellzesta.com/) [Solutions](https://www.wellzesta.com/solutions) [Benefits](https://www.wellzesta.com/benefits) [About us](https://www.wellzesta.com/about-us) [Contact](https://www.wellzesta.com/contact) [Life](https://www.wellzesta.com/products/wellzesta-life) [Elevate](https://www.wellzesta.com/products/wellzesta-elevate) [Vis](https://www.wellzesta.com/#) [Connect](https://www.wellzesta.com/#) [Discover](https://www.wellzesta.com/#) [Thrive](https://www.wellzesta.com/#) Case Studies [Greenfield Community](https://www.wellzesta.com/cases/greenfield-community) [Enterprise Organizations](https://www.wellzesta.com/cases/enterprise-organizations) [Sigle-Site Community](https://www.wellzesta.com/cases/single-site-community) [Home Care Franchises](https://www.wellzesta.com/cases/home-care-franchises) Contact us [![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/6527f83222cbee1b24466b4d/6527f83222cbee1b24466c11_mail.svg) info@wellzesta.com](mailto:templates@wavesdesign.io) ![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/6527f83222cbee1b24466b4d/6527f83222cbee1b24466c02_message-circle.svg) @wellzesta ![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/6527f83222cbee1b24466b4d/6527f83222cbee1b24466bfc_phone.svg) 864-214-6530 [![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/6527f83222cbee1b24466b4d/652ed4901978b1a2ac40ce28_LogoWellzesta.svg)](https://www.wellzesta.com/old-home) We transform legacy communication systems into innovative, highly-adopted engagement platforms that support resident well-being and staff efficiency.
