Virtual Maury Strauss Distinguished Public Lecture: The Digital Transformation of Healthcare: (Finally) a Time for Optimism
About this Seminar
The U.S. healthcare system has gone digital over the past decade. While there have been important improvements in quality and safety, many observers have been struck by the number of unintended consequences, ranging from increasing rates of physician burnout to new kinds of medical mistakes. This talk, by one of the nation’s leading futurists and bestselling author on healthcare technology, highlights why the digital transformation of healthcare has been so challenging, and why several changes in policy, technology and culture create room for optimism.
