Franklin, TN (Sept. 1, 2005) The
Medical Banking Project has formally announced the 4th National Medical Banking
Institute to be held in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday and Thursday, February
22-23, 2006. The Institute Committee is seeking speakers who are actively
engaged in the convergence of banking and healthcare technologies, or have a
related area of expertise (i.e., marketing of new medical banking programs,
organizational design, compliance/risk assessment).
Background:
The
4th National Medical Banking Institute will focus on real time administrative
and clinical messaging in healthcare using bank-driven models. "The convergence
of banking and healthcare IT has the potential to revolutionize healthcare via
highly disbursed, real time technologies," observes John Casillas, Founder of
MBProject and Chair of the Medical Banking Institute. "This is starting to occur
in HSA management, lockbox specialization, new consumer services offered via
card and online banking conveniences and receivable financing."
New
service types range from more efficient and expedited payments between health
plans and healthcare providers to efficient distribution of medical records.
This key infrastructure shift has attracted a diverse array of constituents to
MBProject, from large employers, banks, healthcare providers, vendors, insurance
companies, associations and others. A group of the largest corporations in
America believe the approach can support rapid and economic deployment of a
"medical internet" for consumer and business healthcare interactions.
Description & Highlights:
The Institute - a 2 day working
conference - will offer a cross-industry showcase of pilot programs. New medical
banking models will be announced. Registrants will hear about lessons learned,
participate in workgroups and enjoy new networking opportunities.
Prospective educational tracts include standards and open source work by
other groups (and the importance of linking with these efforts), card-based
processes, liquidity innovations, medical consumerism and HSAs, cross-industry
linkage of established technologies and new innovations. Panels will isolate
emerging best practices in areas of technology, marketing and compliance.
Updates will also be provided related to the following MBProject Initiatives:
-- "HSAs@Work": A National Panel Series that offers expert dialogue on
industry progress related to back-end infrastructure, pricing transparency and
policy; moderated by "Dr. HSA" - David Harris, National Healthcare Revenue Cycle
Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers.
-- C.O.M.B.A.T. (Cooperative
Open-source Medical Banking Architecture & Technology: Combatting rising
healthcare costs using medical banking principles and technology): A status
report will be given and workgroups will meet to continue development of this
innovative, royalty-free reference architecture.
-- Charitable
Communities Network™: We will provide a status report of MBProject's drive to
ramp community safety net providers onto a 21st century digital platform.
-- A new "Pharma Workgroup": The workgroup will help financial services
firms to navigate through, and participate in, the federal government's new Part
D program as well as define/propose new real time features for seamless
financial transactions to the appropriate standards bodies.

About the Medical Banking Project...
The Medical Banking
Project (a.k.a. “MBProject”) is an independent policy research and strategic
advisory firm that facilitates the latent integration of banking technology,
infrastructure and credit resources with healthcare administrative operations.
The firm coined the term “medical banking™” in 1995 to denote this emerging
niche’ industry. It provides educational and workgroup forums and is
spearheading two related initiatives: a global, open source software platform
(“C.O.M.B.A.T. – Cooperative Open-source Medical Banking Architecture &
Technology™”) to combat rising healthcare costs using medical banking principles
and technology and a fee-based, bank-driven community system ("Charitable
Communities Network™") that coordinates safety net healthcare access for
uninsurable, uninsured and under-insured individuals. The initiatives
demonstrate how banks can leverage HIPAA's privacy, security and electronic
mandates to deliver substantive cost benefits to care givers, employ
ers and
consumers. For more information, please go to http://www.mbproject.org .
