Paul DePodesta Is Speaking at the Healthcare Finance Institute 2016
Toronto, Canada, December 3, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “If we weren’t already doing it this way, is this the way we would start?”
Paul DePodesta, the inspiration for Peter Brand’s character (Jonah Hill) in Moneyball, will be speaking at the 2016 Healthcare Finance Institute!
While he may be widely recognized as Billy Beane’s assistant during his time with Oakland Athletics, Mr. DePodesta has made a name for himself for his ability to use big data and analytics to create a winning team. His session will explore how his innovative strategies aren’t just for the baseball field, but can also be successfully applied to the corporate world. Specific to healthcare finance, he will share how you can optimize the current systems your hospital has in place to improve, while giving it a competitive edge in the industry.
Innovative strategies are nothing new to this successful VP. He has worked with the Cleveland Indians, the San Diego Padres, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Oakland Athletics throughout his career, and now is currently the VP of Player Development and Scouting for the New York Mets. Notably, one of his well-known methods in baseball statistics, Sabermetrics, has been credited for the Athletics 2002 20-game winning streak, during his time with the Dodgers he led the team to a playoff victory and he led the Mets to the World Series in 2015.
When it comes to analytics, baseball and healthcare are more similar than one would think – and during his speaker session at the Healthcare Finance Institute Paul DePodesta will explore the similarities. His life experiences, both on and off the field, will reveal how to play hardball in any situation when it comes to analytics to successfully tackle your healthcare responsibilities in 2016.
The Healthcare Finance Institute is taking place April 17th to 19th at The Ritz Carlton, Tysons Corner, VA. Here, hospital CFOs will join forces and collaborate on how to improve the healthcare industry trough insightful speaker sessions and innovative roundtable discussions.
