Healthcare leaders come together to address emerging challenges and build on the industry’s strengths to plan for the future of care.
The U.S. healthcare system has top-tier talent and the most advanced technologies, treatments and facilities in the world. Leaders are constantly innovating new care delivery methods, payment models and digital tools. Technology is driving efficiency and better patient experience. Collaboration is sparking enhanced ways to reduce friction in the industry. Real gains are being made.
Yet that’s not always the public perception or personal experience. Today’s healthcare leaders are contending with a growing sense of disconnect among patients, practitioners and the public at large that has only been exacerbated by the pandemic and the cultural divisiveness that followed.
Why? And what can be done?
That’s what we’ll be discussing at the third HealthKey Summit convened by Brian Communications and catalyzed by the Independence Blue Cross Foundation.
On November 6, we’ll bring together healthcare leaders across the industry for meaningful discussions about the pressing issues impacting healthcare in our region and around the country. We’ll explore new solutions and collaborative approaches that build off the industry’s success and strengths to make it work even better.
Things like:
The healthcare industry has had to adapt time and again over the last several years — building both resilience and creativity into a system that is necessarily cautious. We’ve seen breakthrough drugs and medical approaches, including a world-first application of personalized CRISPR gene editing therapy by a team at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn Medicine, which successfully treated a baby’s rare metabolic disease. We’ve seen payers lead the way with unique community partnerships that address a variety of member needs, like the Independence Blue Cross "Better Together" campaign and nonprofit collaboration addressing the loneliness epidemic. And we’ve seen startups launch and succeed at such a pace that Philadelphia made the largest jump of any city in the world in this year’s global rankings of the top startup ecosystems.
Philadelphia has a uniquely powerful healthcare system: Thriving academic institutions; award-winning researchers; successful startups; dynamic investors; powerful community organizations and dedicated regional payers.
And when leaders throughout the health system come together to share successes, everyone walks away with key learnings — and perhaps some unique collaborations and ideas that were sparked by conversations over lunch.
Join us as we discuss what it takes to make healthcare work, with a spotlight on the emerging strategies and successful approaches that are already making a difference in addressing the key challenges facing healthcare companies today.
