Presented by Foley Hoag LLP, Scientia Advisors LLC and Tatum LLC

The current political turmoil and confusion surrounding the direction of President Obama's healthcare "reform" legislation are a sideshow in terms of the game-changing trends that will alter the practice of U.S. healthcare in the future.  Previous legislative actions and seismic policy shifts are changing the basis of power and will fundamentally affect healthcare delivery as we know it. 

Our breakfast panel will examine two critical trends that are fundamentally changing healthcare practice:

·         The increasing use of personalized medicine

·         The irreversible integration of information technology in healthcare delivery

The policy and regulatory climate within which these trends will evolve is highly complex, risky, and enigmatic.  Regardless, businesses must start now to execute strategies, make investments, and build organizational competence to take advantage of opportunities that are today not yet fully clear.  Those that do not take action risk being overtaken by fundamental market shifts. 

How should companies approach this challenge?  Our panel examines this opportunistic dilemma from 3 perspectives:

·         Thomas Barker, Partner, Foley Hoag LLP will discuss trends in the Federal healthcare policy, regulatory, and reimbursement climates that businesses must understand in order to make informed strategy decisions.

·         Harry Glorikian, President and Founder, Scientia Advisors, will discuss how companies should evaluate the strategy options, based on sound market analytics and the company’s strengths and market positioning.

·         Lee Steele, Partner, Tatum, LLC, will discuss how companies should assess their internal organizational readiness for change and ability to respond to the new market opportunities.

Please join us for this stimulating and very relevant panel discussion.  Space is limited so this program is open to healthcare and life science professionals only.
