2023 Summit Schedule

Big Discussions will explore two overarching themes. First, confronting the interplay between inflation and health care—both in the immediacy and long term. And second, accelerating innovation and redressing disparities amid the economic headwinds. The 2023 Summit agenda will focus on the top prospects for meaningful change, including discussion topics such as:

  • Taking Stock – Assessing the Impact of Investment Infusion and the Outlook for Ethical Innovation
  • Purchaser Perspective – Prospects for Reining in Long-term Health Care Inflation
  • Provider Perspective – Confronting the Cost and Sustainability of Care Delivery
  • Health Policy Spotlight – Major Implications of the Inflation Reduction Act (and Beyond)
  • The Medicare Advantage Takeover – Where Do We Go from Here?
  • The Personalization Paradox – Balancing Data-Powered Innovation with Consumer Privacy
  • Workforce in Turmoil – How to Build a More Sustainable, Safe, and Diverse Workplace
  • Life Sciences Perspective – Capstone Conversation with J&J’s Joaquin Duato on Innovation and Affordability

The 2023 Summit will feature the Confab for Advancing Women in Leadership on Wednesday afternoon. Following the Confab Big Discussion for all Summit participants, Health Evolution Fellows are invited to join the small-group Confab Get Real breakout discussions.

*Fellowship discussions and networking are invitation-only and noted in blue below.

”It's very important for leaders at the Summit to remember that they hold the key to policy change and accelerating progress. Policymakers only go as fast as their constituents let them.

MARK MCCLELLAN, MDDuke-Margolis Center for Health Policy

”It's more important than ever to make sure that we're understanding each other's world, to make sure the private sector is really explaining what the challenges they're trying to solve to the public sector leaders and the public sector leaders understand what's going on in the industry and how can we partner together. What I love about Health Evolution is it has always brought those two sides of the coin together. It's really important so that we can move into the future in a stronger way towards health.

MANDY COHEN, MDAledade; former Secretary, North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services

”It really takes a community if we're going to be successful in what we do. And you can't make it happen alone. And you have such a diversity of people here that are in very important parts of the system but often don't talk to or interact with each other. This becomes one of those opportunities where we can connect the dots to do a better job as a larger community.

MIKE MUSSALLEMEdwards Lifesciences

”Whenever you have an opportunity to get together with thought leaders who are doing groundbreaking thinking around innovation and automation, it's hard not to take something back home that you can actually not just think about, but implement to really improve way we take care of patients.

SUSAN TURNEY, MDMarshfield Clinic Health System
