HDM was a proud sponsor of Health Choice Network’s 29th Annual Board Educational Conference, where we explored innovative healthcare solutions designed to empower education and drive transformative change.

We’re looking forward to attending this event again next year to expand our knowledge, connect with experts, and unlock the future of healthcare together!
Summer Conference 2023
Chicago, IL – Sept 15-16
At the HDM Summer Conference, also known as HDM SumCon, we paid homage to the past, celebrated the present, and cast a visionary gaze into the future of healthcare and technology. This two-day extravaganza commenced with a “Roaring Twenties” costume party and an award ceremony.
On day two, we enjoyed an address by our CEO, Tyler Smith, a conversation with HDM Board member Alyssa Rapp, and insights from aiHealth’s Kyle Swarts and Cynthia Sherman.
Our very own HDM team members, including Brandon Camp, Laura Howard, Caitlin Nolan, Steve Newcomb, Janaque Fernando, Karla Christopher, Michael Martin, and Mel Gamble, delivered presentations that kept the energy buzzing. A special thank you to Greg Georgatos for his closing talk.
To culminate this event, we embarked on a private tour of Wrigley Field, followed by a delicious deep dish pizza party.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our nonprofit partner, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF), for their unwavering commitment to pioneering the future of healthcare. MJFF’s funding, programs, and research initiatives play a pivotal role in the quest to find a cure for Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and enhance the lives of those affected by PD today.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
AI Implementation to Improve a Patient Encounter
In partnership with a major academic pediatric center, HDM is in rolling out a specialized AI program. This advanced AI solution analyzes and transcribe patient interactions.
The objective of this cutting-edge AI initiative is to empower healthcare providers to shift their focus from documentation to delivering more patient-centered care. To ensure accuracy, a human reviewer first assesses the AI-generated notes before incorporating them into the patient’s records, which will await final review by the healthcare provider.
This project is currently in its early stages and entails the creation of a user-friendly interface, the establishment of access for quality reviewers, the identification of suitable providers to pilot the project, and the formulation of a secure deployment process across various platforms.
Throughout this process, Health Data Movers has taken comprehensive measures to safeguard patient privacy, given that the AI software utilizes patient data for training purposes.
In line with our commitment to ensuring the success of all our clients and projects, we initiated a five provider pilot program to provide quantifiable data on the implementation’s effectiveness.

LEADERSHIP MESSAGE
Tyler Smith, CEO
Summer Conference
HDM’s SumCon fired us all up through a roaring mix of programming, meals, and activities. What a jazzy way to close out the third quarter of 2023.
Thanks to Tracy Graham, Ryan Lieberman, and Angeli Trinh for coordinating. A resounding thanks to all those who presented, including longtime HDM BOD member, Alyssa Rapp, and our HDM leaders and “rising stars” from across the company: Darin Ryder, Michael Martin, Brandon Camp, Steve Newcomb, Laura Howard, Caitlin Nolan, Janaque Fernando, Mel Gamble, and Karla Christopher.
The costumes exceeded my expectations and huge congratulations to Hemangi Shah for walking away with the prize.
Shout out again to Mel, Caitlin, Pat, Hemangi, Dan, and Angeli for awards in their respective teams. I’m already looking forward to next year!
Board Expansion + Advisory Council
Stay tuned for a few upcoming announcements regarding additions to the HDM Board. Specifically, we’ll be adding individuals with clinical and/or healthcare system backgrounds.
By having leaders who represent the core tenets of our mission, we will be more capable of empowering patients and providers. Additionally, achieving our vision of being healthcare’s most respected technology services firm necessitates our functioning at the highest level of quality, externally and internally.
Branding + Marketing
Branding and marketing continue to be key areas of focus on the year, especially given OKR2 (“Complete Strategy Plan Roll Out”) calls for “establishing marketing department resources, roles & responsibilities” (2A).
With the addition of Damaris Thomas to the HDM team, we’re excited to be not only crossing off OKR 2A-3 but to be adding an enthusiastic member to the HDM team who will drive awareness of our firm and increase our ability to meet our broader mission and vision, as well as our nearer term revenue goals.
“Nothing worth achieving is easy,” per Alyssa, but the SumCon reminded me that even if building HDM together can be hard at times, it’s still a lot of fun!
