The current healthcare debate and resulting legislation is a watershed moment for the delivery of care to patients. Old institutions and inefficiencies are being done away with in favor of technological advances that encourage high-touch care and patient empowerment. As occurs during industry turning points, opportunities for entrepreneurs are abundant. Identifying these opportunities and acting on them requires the ability to see and understand the interplay among many seemingly disparate groups.
The forum is set to represent a diverse set of sectors, from suppliers (pharmaceuticals, biotech and medical devices) to healthcare delivery and services, as well as a broad range of functions, from marketing to business development to investors. The vision we have set forth for the various topics of interest are listed below.

Is Healthcare IT Headed for a Tipping Point?
Technology is a core focus of healthcare reform as it relates to generating cost savings and eliminating redundancies. Integrated healthcare delivery is made possible by the technological interconnectedness of unique groups to streamline the flow of data. The opportunity is rich not just for traditional healthcare players, but also technology companies traditionally focused outside of the health space. Telecom companies are paving the way for mobile health; software and hardware companies are developing home health solutions. Currently the flow of data occurs in pockets, but not openly across all platforms. With these companies focusing on full-range solutions, the question becomes, “How will these technologies work together to deliver more integrated healthcare, and ultimately improve patient outcomes?”
