Collaboration is crucial for an industry in flux
It’s always enlightening to sit in a room with some of the brightest minds leading the healthcare industry and learn how they tackle challenges, when they implement initiatives, and what keeps them up at night.
Modern Healthcare recently brought executives together to discuss some of the critical issues they face. I’m sure attendees left with a lot to think about and hopefully ideas to implement within their own four walls. One event focused on how organizations are transforming themselves and patient care by adopting digital health strategies and implementing new technologies. Another was on the importance of an environmental, social and governance agenda and moving from ideas to implementation.
At each event, the conversations between providers, payers, vendors and others were encouraging. There is certainly interest in improving the patient experience and the bottom line through the use of technology. Unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence figured prominently in many of the discussions. Forward-thinking organizations are also rethinking their mission in terms of their responsibility to employees, patients, communities, and the world around them. Serving patients where they are, whether by opening clinics in their neighborhoods or through remote monitoring at home, is just one way to address those goals.
Such events allow like-minded leaders who have already identified an issue as important to share ideas and experiences. The key is to continue learning from each other, from the connections that are made in hotel rooms, and then return home eager to put the best ideas into practice. Collaboration is crucial.
It is widely recognized that the healthcare industry is at an inflection point, with a lot of flux. At our events throughout the second half of the year, Modern Healthcare will continue to bring together decision makers to explore industry challenges and delve into opportunities to address them.
Our conference schedule for the remainder of 2023 includes the Women Leaders in Healthcare Conference, August 9-11 in Chicago; the Leadership Symposium, September 14-15 in New Orleans; and the Symposium on Social Determinants of Health, a virtual event on October 25.
We hope to see you there.
