Keynote: Capitalizing on Innovation: The Future is What We Make of It
Presented by Ronald Vance of Salus Strategy Group
We have a health problem in the United States. With an aging population, rising rates of chronic disease, environmental and political risks, and persistent economic challenges, it’s tempting to focus the short term. Success in the future demands that we foresee the trends and forces that will shape it. In this thought-provoking address, we’ll briefly review the best of what we’re doing today to improve health, before looking at where health will be in 2025. Relying on perspectives from both inside and outside the industry we’ll sketch the scenarios likely to play out over the next ten to fifteen years, and forecast the disruptions and innovations that are sure to make this period of time the most interesting future anyone can imagine. This session is a must for TPAs expecting to prosper in an uncertain future.
