Digestive Health Specialist Physician to Co-Direct National GI Health Care Forum

Digestive Health Specialists’ (DHS) physician Dr. Klaus Mergener will be co-directing the 2012 Gastroenterology Roundtable which will be held at the Knoxville Convention Center in Knoxville, TN March 30-31, 2012.

The conference will bring together 200 physician leaders and managers of gastroenterology groups from across the country to discuss health care reform and the future of gastroenterology practice. Keynote speakers will include former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Sr., MD, former CMS Administrator Mark McClellan, and Princeton economist Uwe Reinhardt.

With many new initiatives affecting the practice of medicine, from electronic medical records and new insurance systems to breakthrough technologies and medicines, DHS providers and their colleagues will be discussing the best ways for gastroenterologists to continue to provide outstanding care to their patients and improve clinical outcomes. The current national focus on quality and increased patient involvement in care processes is good news and should result in continued improvements in patient experiences.

Digestive Health Specialists is committed to remain at the forefront of these efforts, both locally and nationally, as an advocate for our patients and our provider community.
