Healthcare 2012: How did we get here, and where are we going?
Ron Paulus, MD, MBA, President & CEO, Mission Health System
Thursday, Dec. 8th - 1:15 PM – 2:30 PM, State of the Industry,
Grand Ballroom A
This session will provide an overview of major milestones in quality, cost and policy that have produced our current healthcare challenge. In addition, the key elements of future success from the vantage point of multiple healthcare stakeholders, including: providers, payers, businesses and government will be addressed. Implications for critical healthcare strategy components will be discussed.
Pivoting: How Extraordinary Organizations Excel in a Dynamic Environment
Michael Arena, Ph.D., Innovation InstituteWednesday, Dec. 7th - 3:00 PM – 3:55 PM Planning Innovation, Roosevelt Room
Organizations like Apple, PayPal, and WikiLeaks have distinguished themselves through their ability to pivot. Rather than clinging to a bias for order and control, these organizations have found ways to actively respond in the dynamic nature of today’s connected world by turning, not leaping, towards a new future. Their approach is part evolution and part revolution, relying heavily on a series of iterations, or small moves. Pivoting is a responsive, discontinuous process that leverages the power of a simple turn early in the development cycle, creating the potential to magnify into a dramatic change across time. To be successful in a connected world, organizations must learn to pivot. This session will review the new disciplines required to take advantage of this approach.
CON: Summit or Plateau?
Dawn Carter, President, Health Planning Source
Wednesday, Dec. 7th - 4:00 PM – 4:55 PM Planning/CON, Roosevelt Room
Is CON an effective climbing tool for reaching the summit or a symptom of altitude sickness that prevents us from leaving the plateau? Since the demise of Certificate of Need at the federal level, those states that have chosen to continue some form of the regulatory process continually face challenges to its effectiveness. In this session, we’ll explore data-driven facts about those states with and without CON regulations. Does CON really make a difference in the cost and quality of care? How does CON affect access? With the turbulent weather of reform, is CON still visible from the summit, or something we’ve left far behind? In addition to discussing CON from a regulatory and policy perspective, we will also provide planners’ views on effective strategy and planning—with and without CON.
Harnessing the Power of Research in South Carolina
Jay Moskowitz, Ph.D., President, Health Sciences South Carolina
Thursday, Dec. 8th - 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM, Planning, Roosevelt Room
More than seven years ago, the leaders of South Carolina’s three research universities and three largest health systems came together with a shared vision of improving the state’s health and economic wellbeing through health sciences research and education. These diverse and sometimes competing institutions chose to collaborate because the needs were painfully obvious. Health Sciences South Carolina (HSSC) leadership believed then, as we do today, that HSSC could be a powerful catalyst for change.
South Carolina has accomplished much with this unique statewide collaborative. It has allowed us to complement our existing intellectual infrastructure with world-class researchers from esteemed institutions from other states. It attracted the largest grants made by the health care division of The Duke Endowment to fund health care quality and patient safety initiatives. It is now enabling us to redefine modern medicine and in so doing, improve the health status of our citizens and spur economic growth.
Strategy Activation: Moving from Design to Execution
Justin Holland, Principal, GE Healthcare
Thursday, Dec. 8th - 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Planning/Strategy Execution, Roosevelt Room
Few hospital systems struggle with developing a strategic plan. However, implementing the strategy in a way that delivers results is another matter. This session will explore the characteristics of organizations capable of balancing near-term performance with innovation that is required for a different future.
Key Themes: A competitive strategy must encompass an operational infrastructure that connects innovation and strategy to execution and sustained results. Leadership must provide a platform for engaged and accountable talent, commitment to patients and to each other. Innovation and strategy execution requires a custom organizational model and a commitment to disciplined experimentation.
