Opening Keynote: What Theory of Change will Drive our Future?
Terry Shaw, President and Chief Executive Officer, AdventHealth
As we look toward the hospital of the future, what will define its role to the patient, providers and the communities we serve? Two theories of change might provide a roadmap for how the hospital of the future will be defined and how it will expand its role in people’s lives. The decisions we make today will set the stage for how we embrace these theories and apply them to our plans. While factors outside of our control can significantly contribute to change, it’s important to see where we have both the responsibility and opportunity to influence change. This keynote session will take a look at two theories of change and how they have contributed to the past and will likely influence the future.

Live Case Study: How SSM Health Created a New, Flexible Work Option for Local Nurses
Presenters
Grady Brimley, VP of Transformation, SSM Health
Will Patterson, Chief Executive Officer, CareRev
Upon joining SSM Health in 2018, Grady Brimley already saw the future of work. He knew hospitals would need a flexible, cost-effective workforce and that many healthcare professionals were willing to work more, but didn’t have an easy way to do so. Fast forward to 2022, and SSM has successfully implemented a platform that addresses both needs. Join this session to learn how SSM built a local, flexible talent pool that meets the needs of today and prepares them for the challenges of tomorrow.

Keynote
A Tech-tonic Shift: How Technology is Shaping the Future of Hospitals
Phyllis Teater, Chief Information Officer, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
When COVID-19 began raging, health care administrators were challenged not only with curbing the global pandemic but also with rethinking everything about the way hospitals care for their communities. Almost overnight, digital technologies and platforms were designed, tested, and implemented, leading to a spike in the number of patients who now received some form of medical attention virtually. These measures mark the beginning, not the end, of a great wave of innovation: As this engaging conversation with Phyllis Teater, Chief Information Officer at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center will show, new emerging technologies, from telehealth to Artificial Intelligence, are radically changing the way we think about and design hospitals, a change likely to have an enormous and beneficial impact on the wellbeing of tens of millions of Americans.

Closing Keynote: Crisis as Catalyst: The Future of the Hospital
David Lubarsky, MD, Vice Chancellor, Human Health Sciences and Chief Executive Officer for UC Davis Health
Health care is changing because health care absolutely has to change. Our patients and our teams are demanding it. Technology has accelerated the use of digital platforms and our awareness of societal inequalities. In the post-pandemic era, this change is going to happen even faster. The pandemic has fundamentally changed the acceptance of a digital interface for information flow, patient care, and administrative interactions. The hospital of the future will deliver superior outcomes, strive towards racial, gender and climate justice, and provide a better patient and provider experience.
