Everywhere today’s healthcare executive turns there is another article or program touting the merits of AI in healthcare. Join us as we focus the discussion on using AI from many vantage points. Now that we have the data, how can we use it to truly make an impact on patient care? Can AI balance your budget? Can it improve efficiency and help with patient access? Can it help with current and future provider shortages? How will nurses and other non-physician providers benefit from AI? What are the ethical considerations for using AI in healthcare? We have asked experts to come and share their knowledge and perspectives with us in what promises to be a very interesting morning.

ACHE of MA Fall Conference 2018 Co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Health and Hospital Association: Disruptive Technology: Healthcare’s Savior?

Powerful entrenched special interests have defeated efforts to reform the US health care system back to the days of FDR’s Administration. Just since 1960, US healthcare spending has risen from $27B to $3,500B, increasing the annual spend per US resident from $150 to over $10,000! Healthcare’s share of our GDP has grown from a hefty 5% to a gigantic 19%. The voracious healthcare beast is starving other vital social needs, with catastrophic results for our citizens, businesses and government and even our own health care industry.

Yet, while the national spending is rocketing upward, US national health status, which was only mediocre to begin with, is getting worse and life expectancies are going down. According to the WHO’s ranking of the world’s health systems, the US only ranked #37, behind Andorra (#4), Greece (#14), Columbia (#22), Cyprus (#24), Morocco (#29) and Costa Rica (#36), and just one notch above Slovenia (#38).
Enter disruptive technologies and innovation: artificial intelligence, genomic engineering, miniaturization, big data, and new pharmaceuticals. Massive investments are being made by all sorts of economic sectors inside and outside the health care industry — venture capital firms, big pharma, small start-ups, IT, backyard /garage incubators, government payers, commercial payers, and academic medical centers, all searching for the same thing: Higher quality, better outcomes, more access, lower costs and happier/healthier patients.
This conference continues ACHE of Massachusetts’ focus on the people and companies making this all happen and who will either constructively contribute to the new health care paradigm (and spend billions doing it) or go down trying. This is another “Can’t Miss” conference for leaders of health care organizations that don’t want to be left behind in the cyberdust!

A 6% increase per year in US health care costs over the next decade is projected, bringing health care’s share of our GNP from 19% to 25% – when for the rest of the industrialized would it is only 6-10%. And, despite this massive spend, US still ranks as the unhealthiest nation in the industrialized world.
Congress plans to take up “Entitlements Reform” next – threatening massive cuts to Medicare and Medicaid just as 80 million Baby Boomers enter their 70’s and 80’s – the peak years for health care needs.
Something has got to give! The whole health care industry – big pharma, medical device manufacturers, providers, and insurance companies – will need to make radical changes.
Enter disruptive innovators: Big Data and new payment models that demand control of total medical expense while providing higher quality and greater access. Increasing volume, visits and procedures to generate revenue will not work. The future must focus on the real determinates of health: Behavior, Engagement and Environment.
ACHE of MA’s Spring Conference will focus on organizations and individuals that are successfully implementing changes and creating The Future of Health Care in America. Pay attention to this paradigm shift – or risk becoming the next incandescent light bulb!
