Opening Keynote: The Health System of the Future

Mark Keroack, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bay State Health

​

The Health System of the Future will be an integrator of the overall healthcare needs of the communities it serves. In order to avoid being marginalized by disruptive competitors, providers need to tackle the difficult issues of truly acting like a system. This means having clear strategies around physician relationships, managing risk for assigned populations, providing a customer-friendly digital platform for care, partnering to ensure a full suite of services, and contributing to the well-being of the communities they serve. Health systems need to simultaneously evolve clinical and financing models to thrive in this new world. Learn how Baystate Health has been working on all these issues in a highly regulated market and how the pandemic has caused them to adjust strategies, but not their vision, of advancing care and enhancing lives.

From the rise in telehealth, to stand-alone apps providing everything from dermatological to mental healthcare; important patient data is siloed in these disparate systems. As healthcare becomes more complex, other advancements such as machine learning and AI, advanced analytics and more will have to step in so systems can keep up.

 

In this session will discuss:

• The growing complexity of the care delivery system and it’s effects on patient data

• How data influences delivering safe high-quality care

• Steps that can be taken to improve data quality and completeness

Closing Keynote: The Hospital of the Future

Robert Sehring, Chief Executive Officer, OSF Healthcare

​

Pressure from non-traditional competitors and consumers to deliver more convenient and accessible care is shifting the entire health care landscape. The hospital of the future will be defined not by what happens within its walls, but by what is possible across the care continuum. Higher acuity, more complex care is available outside the hospital now and advancements realized during the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the pace of change. Now is the time to take a critical look at system readiness for the changes ahead. Learn how OSF HealthCare built an innovation infrastructure to support future changes in health care and how this readiness has positioned them to be a more agile, responsive health system both during crisis and for the future.
