Consumerism in health care is an emerging industry-wide movement to inform and engage consumers to improve their health. The imperative call to action is to provide consumers with their health information and education tools.
Held in a Washington Week format, Consumer Report’s Jim Guest moderates a dynamic discussion among three visionaries from the fast-moving technology industry. Mr. Barrett is not only a Chairman of a Fortune 50 company, but is also Co-Chair of the National Innovation Initiative and holds a prominent post on AHIC. As a large employer, Mr. Barrett candidly shares his views on the inefficiencies and lack of IT employed in health care today. As Google’s architect of the soon-to-be-unveiled health vertical, Mr. Bosworth imparts his compelling vision for providing timely, relevant information to consumers via content providers and health care institutions to create a robust solution. Previously the CEO of Drugstore.com, Mr. Neupert is responsible for Microsoft’s strategies to address global health care infrastructure issues. He shares how consumer information can drive competition and serve as a catalyst for improving value of health care services. |

The resurgence of health promotion and prevention is a paradigm shift in that it will mitigate the majority of health care spending on manageable, chronic conditions - currently 80% of health care spending.
As Chairman and CEO of a Fortune 30 company, Mr. Liveris calls upon all leaders to deliver sustainable health care solutions to employees and society - describing it as a global business imperative, and shares an action-oriented, game-changing strategy focused on prevention and quality that is already delivering results.
This reactor panel includes the leader of $15B GE Healthcare, Mr. Hogan, who comments on the political and market forces needed to shift investments and political power toward prevention. Futurist, Ian Morrison, shares his concerns for the “atomization of healthcare” where individual patient/consumers have financial incentives and little information to navigate provider choices which will erode the systemness of health care and prevention efforts. |
