PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The health care landscape continues to evolve as employers, insurers and providers look for ways to educate consumers about their health care choices, and empower them to make informed medical decisions. Scott Decker, Cambia Health Solutions' President of Transparency Solutions, will share how businesses can better engage patients to make more informed health care decisions, impacting health care quality and cost outcomes, as a featured speaker at this year's Employer Healthcare Conference, joining an impressive docket of reputable speakers from Safeway, Disney and more.

"Our company has seen firsthand the value employers get when they give patients the information they need to make independent and informed decisions. It's groundbreaking," said Decker. "We look forward to hearing from the nearly 2,000 participants at the conference about the challenges they have experienced in business growth as a result of health care outcomes and employee wellness. We will demonstrate how simple, employee-driven transparency solutions can help to improve the quality, cost and overall care their employees are receiving."
