Healthcare Disrupted — Applying High Reliability Concepts to Realize Better Operating Margins

One of the most promising personalized immunotherapy approaches currently being explored in the clinic is cancer vaccines. These vaccines especially patient-tailored versions known as neoantigen vaccines are capable of educating patients’ immune systems about what their individual tumors look like, and in turn, have the potential to improve the immune system’s ability to target and eliminate cancer.

Janet King and Leonard D’Avolio, Assistant Professor at Brigham and Women’s and Harvard Medical School, will convene to discuss the results of a recent HIMSS Media survey, which polled healthcare providers on their outlook for the future of healthcare IT, with a focus on disruptive technologies. The survey explores the importance of each aspect of the quadruple aim, the role of technology in advancing key goals, the use/adoption of technologies like cloud computing, AI/Machine Learning, IoT and blockchain, and the implications of those technologies for the future of healthcare. Leonard, a healthcare tech visionary, will provide commentary on the results, and how he sees technology shaping the future of healthcare.
