Areas Ripe for Disruption in Healthcare – What's Next?
Josh Seidenfeld, Partner & Chair, Digital Health, Cooley
Digital health is at an inflection point as innovation abounds amidst a changing macroeconomic landscape. Winners will emerge as sector consolidation continues. As the industry turns to measured outcomes versus growth at all costs, this panel will address the major areas which remain ripe for disruption – from physician burnout to healthcare payment solutions. Join this interactive discussion with leading VCs, CEOs, and providers who will share their predictions.
Networking Coffee Break
BREAKOUT DISCUSSION:Disrupting the Traditional Medical Sales ModelTraditional healthcare models and physician practices lack resources of broader hospital institutions and networks. Creating centers of excellence for patients and providers alike relies on disrupting the traditional delivery of care to improve patient outcomes and reduce physician burnout. New technology for outbound phone calls, text, and email aids this disruption by driving patient acquisition and increasing patient retention.
Networking Lunch
Health Data Acquisition and Utilization
Mandira Singh, Senior Vice President, General Manager, Acute & Payer Markets, PointClickCare
Are data commoditizing? Have 21st century cures delivered the change they promised? What does TEFCA imply for our industry? Where has the opportunity for data-focused solutions faded and where are the bright spots that remain? Join us for a candid discussion from players across the spectrum who buy, sell, and innovate in the healthcare data space.
Hiring Clinical and Specialty Talent in a Labor Headwind
Kristina Saffran, Co-Founder & CEO, Equip
With the proliferation of digital healthcare companies, attracting and retaining clinicians is a huge differentiator and also a rate limiting factor. The demand for talent outpaces the current supply for clinicians, especially ones that have diverse backgrounds and specialty expertise. Hear from a diverse panel of entrepreneurs, investors, and health systems executives on how they think about growing a world-class clinical workforce.
Networking Refreshment Break
Future of Virtual/Home Delivery, Particularly for Complex and Specialty Care
Lee Shapiro, JD, Managing Partner, 7wire Ventures
Consumerism in healthcare is more than easing wayfinding in hospitals and telehealth visits. Home health services have been an industry priority as evidenced by CVS Health's proposed acquisition of Signify Health and United Health Group's acquisition of Landmark Health. Tech-enabled services are meeting consumers where they live, improving outcomes and reducing the cost of care. Individuals with complex conditions such as kidney disease, cancer or autism are being treated in family rooms while specialty care, such as cardiac rehab and neurodevelopmental diagnoses, have been made available to those in need, even in remote areas. Join this discussion @DHIS West!
Tackling Engagement to Overcome Barriers to Health Equity
Christine Brocato, System Vice President, Strategic Innovation, CommonSpirit Health
CMS defines Health Equity as attaining the highest level of health for all, where everyone has a fair and just opportunity for optimal health regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, or language. While addressing health disparities has always been a main role for the public health sector, health equity has also become a key focus for the healthcare industry especially in recent years, spurring novel technologies, new companies, and cross-sector partnerships. And while many good strides have been made, there is still a long way to go to close large gaps that exist in addressing systemic barriers within the US. This panel will focus on key areas of opportunity to identify and engage underserved communities and discuss the role that technology and innovation can play in scaling these solutions.
