SPEAKING TOPICS INCLUDE:
Superconvergence: How the Genetics, Biotech & AI Revolutions Will Transform our Lives, Work & World
The keynote is squarely targeted at any person, business, or other organization trying to figure out what the AI and other technological revolutions mean for their futures. (Short answer: these transformations will be as profound as the agricultural, industrial, electrical, and information revolutions, providing many new challenges and almost unfathomable opportunities.) Metzl will also make many very practical recommendations for steps we can each and all take to optimize benefits and minimize harms.

The Great Biohack: How the Overlapping AI, Genetics & Biotechnology Revolutions will Transform our Healthcare, Lives, Work & World
The rapid growth of new AI systems like ChatGPT have made most people realize significant change is on the horizon. But while most people still think of these AI capabilities as improved internet search tools, the implications are far more profound. Just like the industrial and computer revolutions, the AI revolution will transform most every aspect of our personal and professional lives. Along with our new capabilities in genetics and biotechnology, it will change how we live and work, our economies, our healthcare, the foods we eat, and our interactions with the world around us. In this both far-reaching and highly practical talk, leading futurist Jamie Metzl explores the big picture implications of this transformative moment in human history and how individuals, companies, and societies can best ride the wave of this change rather than be subsumed by it.

The Biology Revolution Will Change Everything. Are You Ready?
The miraculous synthetic mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are just small, early examples of how the genetics and bioengineering revolutions will transform our world. Faster than most people understand or appreciate, our growing, superhuman capabilities to restructure the building blocks of life will fundamentally alter the way we prevent and treat disease, make babies, generate energy, grow food, store data, and create materials. But while this process had already begun before COVID-19, the pandemic has catapulted the biology revolution to a new phase just like World War II supercharged electronics and space travel generations ago. And just like the information technology revolution started small then “ate the world,” the biology revolution is about to change much of everything – and we are not ready. Visionary futurist Jamie Metzl describes how the biology revolution will play out over the coming years and decades and what we can all do on a personal, professional, and global level to prepare and thrive.

ChatGPT, Technology, Innovation & the Exciting Future of Healthcare
ChatGPT has quickly become the fastest growing application in history. The implications of this and other AI systems will soon extend to most every aspect of our lives and every sector of our economy, not least healthcare. The transition from today’s system of generalized medicine based on population averages to the new model of precision healthcare based on each person’s individual biology is already well underway. But the use of the precision medicine tools of genome sequencing, big data analytics, and targeted gene therapies to treat cancer and other diseases are paving the way for a further transition to more predictive and preventive healthcare. In this talk, Jamie Metzl elucidates how the tools and capabilities of the intersecting artificial intelligence, genetics, and biotechnology revolutions are transforming healthcare and lays out key principles for how health industry professionals, the business community, governments, and individuals can prepare for a revolution that is coming far sooner than most people recognize.

Beyond the Blue Zones: What the Revolutionary Science of Human Life Extension Means for You
Most everybody knows we should exercise, eat well, build meaningful communities, and reduce stress to live healthy longer. But the revolutionary new science of human life extension is creating enticing new possibilities for using technology to extend our lives far beyond what nature intended. While the quest for immortality has been the stuff of fairy tales, the new science of life extension will soon be pushing the limits of aging and unlocking human potential in ways our ancestors never could have imagined. Technology futurist Jamie Metzl explores the latest breakthroughs in the science of human life extension that promise to gain us more of life‘s most precious commodity: time. Jamie explains what individuals, companies, and governments must do now to prepare for this revolutionary future that will fundamentally reorganize our societies and global economics.

SPEAKING TOPICS INCLUDE:
What Makes a Health System?
Health care organizations have grown steadily larger and more complex over the past thirty years. Most of them call themselves “health systems”. But are they really systems and have patients and those who pay for care benefited from this growth and complexity? Why has “health system” operating performance deteriorated sharply since the historic Affordable Care Act coverage expansion? How can health systems make changes in their operations and management that patients notice? What does it mean to be a health system?

2040: A Healthcare Odyssey
In 1986, in Hospitals’, Jeff Goldsmith looked ahead fifty years to the US healthcare system in 2036. In 2016, Jeff revisited these forecasts, noting both accurate and inaccurate predictions, and looked ahead yet again to the health system in twenty years. In 2037: A Healthcare Odyssey, Jeff examines the digital health revolution he foresaw in his 1986 piece, and how it is likely to affect care. He also looks at the concluding chapter of the baby boomer’s saga, as well as promising new progress in the neurosciences and produces a fresh forecast for the US health system in twenty years.

Opiate Crisis: Tip of a Population Health Iceberg
In 2016, more than sixty thousand Americans died of drug overdoses, 42 thousand from opioids. Drug death is the SuperStorm Sandy of public health threats, likely to claim more victims than the AIDS Epidemic. Yet it is the most visible manifestation of a more troubling trend-declining American life expectancy. In both 2015 and 2016, American life expectancy declined, the first two-year decline since the early 1960s. During the same two years, the US spent nearly $7 trillion on healthcare. What are the underlying drivers of this deeply troubling trend. and what can policymakers and the care system do about it?

The Future of Medical Practice: What Does it Look Like?
Physicians have vigorously defended the institution of private medical practice for more than a century. Yet, in the past five years, medical practice appears to be consolidating under hospital and, to a lesser degree, health plan control. The uncertainties introduced by health reform, economic pressures from the sustained US recession and the impending retirement of the large baby-boom era cohort of practicing physicians all have contributed to a sense that private medical practice is doomed. Is there a future for private medical practice? This lecture discusses the turnaround strategy for physician practice in the post-health reform era, as well as the role that hospitals, health plans, private equity and technology firms can play in reforming and strengthening medical practice.

Organizing for Risk: How hospitals and physicians can collaborate both to contain cost and improve quality.
Health reform is changing both how and how much the care system is paid. This lecture reviews the history of both hospital and physician efforts both to sponsor and to contract with health plans and discusses how they can become more accountable for both the cost and value of what they do. It will also review what’s happened to the idea of “accountable care organizations” (ACO’s) and what some viable alternatives to the strategy might be.

Health Reform: What can the US Learn from Other Countries The United States spends almost double per capita what other countries spend on healthcare, yet produces inferior health outcomes.
Why does health care cost so much more in the United States than anywhere else in the world? How do other countries finance and organize health care? What can we learn from their experience that will help the United States reshape its health system? What can other countries learn from the United States’ experience?

POPULAR SPEAKING TOPICS:
Lessons from COVID-19 and Implications for the Future of Healthcare
CNN medical analyst Dr. Wen has been one of the nation’s leading experts during the COVID-19 pandemic, called upon for her expertise by Congress, state and local governments, businesses, schools/universities, and scientific organizations. She can speak to the learnings from COVID-19 and what it has revealed about the need to focus on social determinants of health, public health preparedness, and care for the most vulnerable. She can then look forward to the future. What are major trends in payment reform, health workforce, and medical technology, and how will they, in the recovery from the pandemic, shape the future of public policy and healthcare delivery?

Reducing Health Disparities and Striving for Health Equity
Dr. Wen is a leading national expert on health disparities. During the COVID-19 crisis, she was asked to testify four times to the U.S. House of Representatives on the unequal impact of the pandemic on communities of color. While she served as Baltimore’s health commissioner, she reconfigured the agency to specifically focus on health equity and was among the first leaders to declare racism as a public health crisis. She can speak from the lens of current events on how COVID-19 has unmasked existing disparities and specifically focus on innovative solutions that reduce disparities and improve health in the short-term, as well as long-term efforts to address structural inequities. Here, she draws upon lessons in her new book, Lifelines: A Doctor’s Journey in the Fight for Public Health and gives specific examples of successful innovations that reduce disparities and improve equity.

Mental Health and Well-Being
The stress that employees have endured during the pandemic will not vanish after the immediate crisis passes. Employees have been coping with isolation, dealing with loss, acting as caregivers, and struggling with childcare. Dr. Wen brings audiences a world of insights and understanding from her work as a practicing physician, former Health Commissioner of Baltimore, and chairwoman of a nonprofit addressing mental health and addiction. She shares personal experiences (including her own battle with postpartum depression and her experience as a caregiver to her ailing mother), best practices on employee health and well-being, and strategies for developing resiliency. And she outlines for audiences a framework for incorporating mental and physical wellness practices into the office, home, and everyday life.

POPULAR SPEAKING TOPICS:
The Innovator’s Prescription: How Disruptive Innovation Will Transform Health Care
In the absence of the ability to precisely define a disease, the care of patients is best undertaken by highly skilled professionals, whose intuition is based on deep experience. This describes the history of health care, and we call this the practice of intuitive medicine. Molecular biology holds the promise of transforming medical practice into a new phase that we call precision medicine. It promises to dramatically reduce cost and increase the predictable effectiveness of therapy.

Disrupting U.S. Health Care
When we think of “quality” health care, we generally assume that more expertise is always preferred — doctors must be better than nurses, specialists must be better than primary care doctors, and hospitals and clinics must be better than virtual interactions. This mentality, in part, has left us with a health care system that is unaffordable, inconvenient and largely broken. But if we were to apply the principles of disruptive innovation to our collapsing health care system—by using advances in technology to help nurses and primary care physicians to do more sophisticated work—a costly, hard-to-schedule trip to the doctor may become increasingly rare. Disruptive innovations like direct-to-consumer diagnostics, patient-controlled electronic health records, telemedicine, and hospital-at-home models of care have the potential to create transformative change in the health care industry, argues physician Jason Hwang. Such models of care also have the potential to be superior options with distinct advantages for paving the way toward more accessible, affordable and quality health care.

How Technology is Changing Health Care – for Good
Traditional health care is simply not set up to evolve alongside rapidly advancing technologies. Consider the influx of health data from wearable fitness devices and home diagnostic equipment. Doctors either don’t know what do with the data, or they can’t keep up with the data deluge. What’s needed is a software solution that can absorb and process the data, supported by doctors who can then make both the sophisticated and regulatory-required decisions, says Dr. Jason Hwang. It already exists in what Dr. Hwang describes as an asynchronous, cloud-based platform. By moving more of the rote, routine care online – “automating the automatable” – it frees up capacity for doctors to focus on more complex care that genuinely requires their expertise. Dr. Hwang also explores the changing relationship between providers and patients, and explains why he believes digital health care will ultimately enhance doctor satisfaction and help eliminate doctor shortages.

Reinventing the Business Models of Hospitals and Physician Practices
When health care professionals speak of reforming health care, they often cite solutions that merely preserve or reinforce the existing model of care delivery, such as tort reform, new payment codes and an expanded pool of doctors. But physician Jason Hwang argues that health care reform starts with changing its longstanding business model, an antiquated one-size-fits-all delivery system that struggles to do everything for everyone. For true health care reform, Hwang says, we need to deploy distinct business models that focus on different aspects of care. Under a “solution shop” model, care is organized around intuitive diagnostic activities and complex, multidisciplinary cases. In contrast, a “value-adding process” business model is organized around well-established and highly-predictable routines, such as joint replacement or endoscopy, and the entire business – even the facilities, training, and pricing – revolve around performing that one procedure perfectly time after time. By reinventing the traditional health care business model, says Hwang, we will no longer have to rely on a system that wants to be all things to all people.

Will Smartphones Replace Your Doctor? The Impact of Digital Health
Our population is living longer. There continues to be a shortage of nurses and primary care doctors. Provisions of the Affordable Care Act — guaranteed issue and mandated coverage of many preventative services – have taken effect. The demand for affordable, quality health care is growing, and there is no way to fulfill it through existing models of care where every problem requires you to see a doctor, in person. Jason Hwang believes highly scalable digital health technologies are poised to vastly improve health care – for everyone. Drawing from experiences with his own telehealth start-up PolkaDoc, as well as his work with the X-PRIZE Foundation, Hwang talks about technology’s sophisticated yet affordable solutions that already exist – from ultrasounds and EKGs to diagnosing of ear infections or rashes, all via smartphones – and discusses the potential that simple digital innovations like text messaging, avatars and apps have for helping patients get better care, earlier and more efficiently. The value of digital health to transform health care is tremendous.

SPEAKING TOPICS:
Leading with Resilience in Challenging Times
With record-high rates of burnout, turnover, and disengagement in healthcare, these challenging times require resiliency more than ever –and it starts with leadership. Learning to incorporate and model key resilience practices such as compassion, engagement, and self-leadership, the resilient leader becomes the key to a culture shift that results in less burnout, greater retention, and restoration of the joy, meaning, and purpose in work. This kind of re-engagement transforms people into better caregivers and better colleagues, which directly translates to improved patient quality surveys and an improved bottom line. The critical resilience skills taught can be immediately applied and taken back to staff to help create and sustain a resilient culture at the unit, department, and organizational level.

Chaos to CALM with Resilience!
Chaos in healthcare today impacts all healthcare workers. While we can’t do anything about the current healthcare crisis, there are teachable skills that can keep you focused, productive, and resilient by being calmer in the face of chaos. Without resilience, people become overwhelmed, make more mistakes, take longer to do things, and become physically and emotionally exhausted — all expensive in human and financial costs. Chaos to Calm teaches specific, practical skills such as mindfulness, compassion, and self-leadership to handle chaos so that even in the middle of the storm we can remain engaged and resilient.

Self-Leadership in a Pandemic (and Every Other Crisis)
The current crisis in healthcare exposes all of our vulnerabilities, requiring us to slow down, evaluate, and improve our systems professionally and personally. Powerful, effective leadership is needed today more than ever, and the most effective leaders know how to lead themselves first. By practicing self-leadership, they empower their colleagues, teams, and organizations which is critical during times of crisis. Self-leadership is a unique set of skills and behaviors that include trust, transparency, compassion, connection, and vulnerability. Regardless of your title or experience, role modeling self-leadership has ripple effects felt throughout the organization, building teamwork, engagement in vision and mission, and a reconnection to ourselves and our noble profession.

Physician Burnout – What You Can Do NOW
According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, we lose 300-400 physicians by suicide each year. Physicians struggle to maintain the value and joy that brought them to medicine, resulting in record-high burnout. Today, doctors are called upon to be both technical and clinical superheroes, while burdened with more responsibilities and pressures –taking a toll. Most doctors are hesitant to seek out support and unfortunately the practices that could help them are just starting to be recognized in medical schools. Critical resilience skills such as mindfulness, compassion, and self-leadership are teachable and practical skills that can change the trajectory of burnout, disconnection, excess, and lack of meaning-making a difference now.

Reclaiming the Spirit of Nursing
Do you remember when you first decided to become a nurse? For most, the decision was a defining moment—not only for you, but for every hand you have held, every brow you have wiped and every tear you have shared with patients and their families since. Still, short staffing, increased acuities and complexities of care provide daunting challenges for nursing leaders everywhere. Let Diane challenge and inspire you to reclaim your passion and pride for nursing so that you can continue to inspire your staff, your peers and most importantly, yourself!
