8:40 AM: Keynote – ACOs, the ACA and ADIDAS: Reinventing Healthcare is Not Impossible
Stephen K. Klasko M.D., President & CEO, Thomas Jefferson University & TJUH System
Have you ever watched an industry transform and said “I wish I had thought of that (think Facebook, Groupon, etc.)?” Healthcare gives you that chance. In the past we’ve allowed others to make (and profit) from revolutionary changes while we as doctors and healthcare leaders reacted to those shifts. We have everything it takes to lead that future rather than waiting for “the next big thing.” Learn what new technologies, quality initiatives, physician and nurse changes, and hospital culture changes need to occur to change the DNA of healthcare – starting today.
