Healthcare As a Consumer Product — Making Health Insurance Price Transparent
In most industries, from cars to banking, information creates empowered consumers. You know how much you pay when you buy a new car, and the car dealer knows how much he will get. Why not the same for health insurance? We need transparency, affordability and accessibility.

The Changing Face of Medical Practice: From Solo Practitioner to Super-Size Groups
Has the evolution of healthcare in the U.S. made the small group practice an unsustainable business model?

Rothman Professor and Chairman, Department of Orthopaedics, Professor of Neurosurgery, Thomas Jefferson University & Hospitals, and President of The Rothman Institute, and Sandra Fenwick, president and COO of Boston Children's Hospital.

Where Technology Can Take Healthcare
Presenter: Daniel Kraft, Executive Director, FutureMed
1:45pm
The Future Is Bright. How Do We Get There?
In the early 1980s, Apple began to "consumerize" technology. What's the path for doing the same to healthcare? We see plenty of consumer-focused activity in wellness, but that's not where most of the costs are. Over the next three to five years, what role will be played by technology, by retailers and by new models of service delivery in diagnosis, and treatment of more serious and chronic conditions as well? Which innovations can we expect to scale quickly?

Philanthropy in Healthcare — When Patients Become Catalysts for Change
This isn’t just a consumer revolution in health. It’s a revolution in which patients will be increasingly empowered. In the future, it will be people grappling with their own illnesses who will help find cures. In fact, this is already happening. Here are some heroic individuals who, upon discovering they were sick, marshaled resources to develop treatments, changed the way scientists thought and even raised the possibility of cures.

“There Is No Department of Cures”
Michael J. Fox often points out that although the government and private sector fund research to the tune of $100 billion a year, there is nobody in charge of getting results of that research to patients (or anybody else). He and his foundation have leveraged the power of his celebrity not just to raise money and make targeted investments in Parkinson’s R&D;, but also to create a spirit of teamwork among scientists and, even more importantly, to mobilize patients as part of the effort to find new treatments.
