Healthcare Innovation Summit

Thank you for the great response to this year's conference -- the event is now sold out!

Approximately two weeks before the event, we'll send all registered participants an email with additional information about attending the Healthcare Innovation Summit.

 

Welcome

The healthcare industry is in the midst of historic change: the current U.S. system has become unsustainable; the implications of health reform policy are still unclear; and competition overseas continues to increase. 

New paradigms for the diagnosis and treatment of patients, as well as the design and delivery of health care products and services, are urgently needed to overcome these unprecedented challenges.

The 2012 Healthcare Innovation Summit will explore innovations with the potential to transform the global healthcare marketplace. It will provide a forum where business and government leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, and students can examine the powerful forces that are shaping healthcare in the 21st century and evaluate actionable new solutions for addressing them.

Please join us:

Wednesday, April 25, 2012
8:00 am to 5:30 pm
Stanford GSB – Knight Management Center

2012 Featured Sessions

Participate in a special networking event on Tuesday, April 24 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, which includes a panel discussion on Surviving in Healthcare: What It Takes to Make It as an Innovator in the Field. This event is limited to the first 100 people to register!

Don’t miss the return of one of last year’s most popular speakers. Todd Park, CIO of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will launch the event with an update on U.S. healthcare reform.

Actress, playwright, and professor Anna Deavere Smith will participate in this year’s unique keynote session, which will examine the human side of healthcare and the critical need for new healthcare paradigms. Smith conducted extensive research in the field of health for her one-women show, Let Me Down Easy. This acclaimed play gives "voice to questions of life and death, sickness and healthcare."
