Health Innovation Day 2020

The United States transitioned from just a recurring flu season to a full pandemic with the infiltration of the Corona Virus.  This pandemic caused the healthcare system to turn upside down and develop new pathways, processes, and techniques for not only tending to and treating the COVID patients, but also treating the general populations with the daily medical and surgical conditions.  So many changes occurred in the healthcare system in a very short period of time that the medical profession now wonders "what will be the new norm for health care during the remainder of the time COVID is still active and what will be the new norm for the future?"  In addition, the healthcare community needs to address "what health care policies will change in the future to accommodate this new norm?"

The presenters and panelists will address the following questions:

• What did the government and health system learn from the pandemic experience?
• What were they prepared to do and what had to immediately change to accommodate the requirements around the pandemic?
• What frustrated government and the health industry the most during the pandemic crisis?
• How did industry help the government - Federal, State, and Local
• Has the new virtual way of treating patients impacted the cost of care, the ability to diagnose, the connectivity to patients?
• What does the future hold for the government, hospital systems, Pharma, providers, and others?
• Will the United States be able to revert back to the "old norm" after a vaccine has been successfully developed?
