The Health Economy Simulator of Arizona

by Naimul Huq on October 1, 2009 · Comments

Monday marked the beginning of the Health Economy Simulator. This event was the product of the Leadership Development group from Humana. It was our fourth simulation, but the first we made public through the use of social media. The purpose of the simulation was to bring together participants who represent the decision makers in the health economy. Healthcare CEOs, academics, insurance industry representatives, doctors, and more convened in Scottsdale, Arizona, Monday and Tuesday to figure out how to best run the health economy.

In terms of social media, you can look to healthsim.wordpress.com as your hub for everything we’re doing with health simulations. We have a YouTube channel (youtube.com/healthsim), a Twitter account (twitter.com/healthsim), a Flickr account (flickr.com/user/healthsim), and a group on LinkedIn called the Humana Health Economy Simulator (http://bit.ly/32VIcx). If you are interested in the Health Economy, please join our group and participate in the discussion on Twitter with the hashtag #healthsim.

Over the course of the next few years we will try to grow a community of health experts. Hopefully we will see a surge of activity every time we host one of the simulations. We’re planning on having them all over the world. We strongly believe that facilitating these kinds of communities will lead to discussions we need to have to make health care better.
We will be updating healthsim.wordpress.com as the simulation goes on; stay tuned by subscribing to our RSS feed or by searching “healthsim” on Twitter..
