Dear HCEG Colleagues and Friends:
First and foremost, we express gratitude for all those in the military, past and present, as we thanked and honored them on Veterans day. We salute you all.
As for healthcare, it looks like continuing uncertainty. COVID-19 is still exploding, the election implications continue to unfold, and technology, innovation, and interoperability - the building-blocks of population health - are all accelerating. Meanwhile, consumer mindsets are changing in dramatic and unanticipated directions.
The good news is that healthcare is moving forward - rapidly. One of the inspiring comments from a recent HCEG webinar was the thought that “the future of healthcare doesn’t need (and can’t) rely on technology from the past.” Enjoy our summary of thought leadership, inspiring solutions to major challenges and the opportunity to network with healthcare colleagues around the country.
And if we don’t connect again before, have a Happy Thanksgiving. Be safe and stay well,
Executive Director
The HealthCare Executive Group (HCEG)
