OPENING KEYNOTE ADDRESS: An Era of Health Innovation |
| A confluence of market and health policy forces have created an extraordinary environment for health innovation. Healthcare leaders, innovators, investors, and other stakeholders need to clearly understand the implications and opportunities of recent healthy policy. Federal support of health IT via the HITECH Act has created a rich environment for technological innovation -- creating significant opportunities for entrepreneurial development towards better care, better health, and lower cost through continuous improvement. These favorable innovation conditions are amplified by the Affordable Care Act, which aligns incentives for producing quality-driven health system efficiencies through new payment models and pathways for the incorporation of new innovations. |
