NORCROSS, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- The evolving world of healthcare will be in the spotlight at the Healthcare Systems Process Improvement Conference presented by the Society for Health Systems of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers Feb. 19-21 at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia.

The keynote speakers include Venkatesh Bellamkonda, M.D., Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine in the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Consultant Physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

"Speaking at HSPI is an incredible honor that I find very humbling. I never imagined a career investigating processes or focused on consistency and efficiency," Bellamkonda said. "My story will shed light on the power that everyone in this audience has to ignite the teammates around them. If you can find a way to communicate the concepts in an accessible way to an audience with a primary skill set different from yours, you might change their lives."

Also featured as a keynote presenter is Mandy Long, former CEO of BigBear.ai and an artificial intelligence expert in healthcare.
