Innovation and the Changing the Face of Healthcare Delivery
Length: 1.5 hours
Target Audience: C-Suite Executives, Clinical and Operational Leaders,
Physicians and Nurses, Information Technologists, Vendors,
Consultants.
Description: Given the extensive changes in healthcare delivery and the
technological landscape overall, there is a necessity to take stock
of where the healthcare community stands on change and
innovation, specifically regarding the use of technology. The
demand for higher quality healthcare at a lower cost creates an
imminent need for change and innovation in healthcare delivery.
Healthcare has already seen innovations in the tools used to
deliver care, including pharmacy products, medical devices,
information technology, and biotechnology products. This
innovation has changed and continues to change the way
healthcare is delivered. This panel will discuss how health
systems are using innovation in technology to improve the value
of the healthcare they deliver. Examples may include using
technology to improve connectivity, patient flow, provider
efficiency, and/or quality measurement.
Faculty: Each session should feature a moderator plus two to three
panelists.
Moderator: Moderator should be an executive who has
successfully implemented or facilitated healthcare technology
innovation.

drastically affecting cost to consumers and patients?

areas?

that may face clinical reluctance or resistance?
• To what extent do you think innovation should be used to encourage
standardization?

pace of healthcare innovation, or are changes being made at too rapid a pace for
legislation to stay current?
