Forbes Healthcare Summit 2013: Empowering The Patient Revolution

Healthcare systems across the world are under pressure. For many developed countries, they are wrestling with the same complex challenges – aging populations, fiscal pressures and increasing patient expectations. With payers, providers and governments being squeezed like never before, there will be seismic shifts over the next ten years. The revolution in healthcare is being led by patients, who are now more empowered than ever -- demanding more choice and transparency and harnessing technology to garner the best information to weigh their options and be more in control of their care.

On October 9th and 10th in New York, Steve Forbes will host the second annual Forbes Healthcare Summit, bringing together leaders from a wide spectrum of disciplines in the healthcare industry to discuss how the newly empowered consumers will drive disruption and change. The summit will highlight how key stakeholders can work together to generate actionable solutions and reform to organize and finance new systems and ultimately provide better outcomes for patients.

Welcome and Opening Remarks

The summit highlights how the consumer is driving disruption in healthcare. Today’s patient wants all aspects of healthcare to be as simple and transparent as Amazon and the iPad.

The Affordable Care Act: How Are We Doing?

The health care exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act could be a source of consumer empowerment, allowing people to choose their own health plans. They could also result in higher prices and less access to care. They just went live. Will they work?

The Role of Insurance Companies in a New World

It’s not just the Affordable Care Act. Fundamental changes are coming about in the way that the insurance industry works. The fee-for-service model is being slowly replaced, and companies are looking to new technologies to change the way they do business. The industry’s top executives present competing visions of the future.

The Walk-In Clinic Revolution

Until recently, consumers wanting medical care would travel extensively and wait patiently for an appointment. However, patients accustomed to the ease and convenience of Amazon and the iPad, now won’t wait for a doctor's appointment. How this is changing the health care business.

How Technology Will Change What It Means To Be A Doctor

Long averse to new technology, doctors and hospitals are now adopting it in a big way. A look at how Silicon Valley ideas are changing how providers do their jobs.

Big Pharma Collaborating on Big Data to Save the World

Traditionally, big pharma kept their data and results under lock and key. Now, with a global population impatient to find answers and cures, the industry is working together to affect change.

How Big Do The Data Have To Be?

Suddenly, we can track patients better with electronic health records. We can share that data in ways that were never possible before. That’s transforming research in amazing ways. But how big do our networks have to become before they start to yield useful information?

Consumers Driving Philanthropy in Healthcare

The traditional concept of philanthropy involved sending money and goods to those in need. But the outcomes were inconsistent. Now, many prominent foundations succeed because they promote personal accountability and allow the empowered to take control of their futures. What are some of the current challenges faced by prominent foundations? How are these overcome?

Universal Challenges and Solutions: Empowered Consumers around the Globe

The USA is facing immense challenges in healthcare. But it is certainly not alone. Around the globe, with empowered patients, exploding costs and an aging population, healthcare is at a crossroads. What are the main issues faced by other countries in the age of technology and expectation? How are they solving these problems?
