All times listed are in CST.
| TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10 | WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11 | THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 | |
| 9:00 AM | OPENING ACT – Day One We’ll kick-off this year’s Healthcare Summit with a welcome from our Founder & CEO, Saurabh Sinha and a special message from country music superstar, Luke Bryan! |
OPENING ACT – Day Two Kumar Kolin, President, Healthcare Technology Solutions, will kick things off before Luke Bryan gets us ready for day two! |
OPENING ACT – Day Three Mike Hollis, President, will start off the day followed by a final message from our special guest, Luke Bryan. |
| 9:10 AM | TRACK 1 – Reimagining Healthcare The future is now playing. As healthcare’s leaders we are responsible for being at the forefront of change, especially during times of uncertainty. But, how do we overcome our current obstacles while still preparing for what’s ahead? Moderator: Prashanth Reddy, McKinsey & Company, Senior Partner Prakash Patel, MD, Anthem, EVP and President, Diversified Business Group Jacob Sattelmair, DSc, MSc, Wellframe, Co-Founder and CEO Dawn Whaley, Sharecare, President |
TRACK 3 – Dr. Al Has Seen You and Here’s the Issue… We’ve been singing about a physician shortage for years and while telehealth has tapped into enormous underutilized capacity, emerging models are leveraging the physician with the AI-driven “doctor inside.” So, do we really have a shortage of resources or will we let machines do a portion of the work AND help us prevent issues upstream? Moderator: Craig Samitt, MD, MBA, BCBS Minnesota, President and CEO Sam De Brouwer, doc.ai, Co-Founder and CEO Mona Siddiqui, MD, MPH, MSE, Humana, Senior Vice President for Enterprise Clinical Strategy Michael Sturmer, Teladoc Health, SVP Health Plan Market |
TRACK 5 – The Public Health (Data) in All of Us Lack of data access left ALL of us handicapped in our ability to combat COVID-19. The need for data sharing is unlike anything we’ve experienced and cross-communication is more important than ever. As we look to our future, what public health-inspired models and platforms are not only important for the greater good, but also critical to our businesses? Moderator: Kyle Armbrester, Signify Health, CEO Heather Cox, Humana, Chief Digital Health and Analytics Officer Bob Darin, CVS Health, Chief Data Officer; CVS Pharmacy, Chief Analytics Officer Dr. Edmund Jackson, HCA, Chief Data Officer & Chief Data Scientist |
| 10:05 AM | TRACK 2 – The Tipping Point of Mainstream Mental Health Despite the proliferation of new apps, we haven’t even come close to a mental health system that serves both rising demand and societal health. When will we acknowledge mental health as a foundational part of healthcare and begin to manage the data and reimbursement with a preventative and early intervention mindset? Moderator: Sachin Jain, MD, SCAN Health Plan, President and CEO Dr. Megan Jones Bell, MS, PsyD, Headspace, Chief Science and Strategy Officer Colleen Nicewicz, Groups Recover Together, CEO Tom Tsang, MD, Valera Health, CEO |
TRACK 4 – The New Deal: Innovation Investing With U.S. digital health companies raising billions in funding during the first six months of 2020, the thesis around digital health has never been stronger. While the pandemic has offered us a glimpse into a better healthcare system, many questions loom over the future of healthcare investments. Moderator: Anna Haghgooie, Blue Venture Fund, Managing Director Stephen Kahane, MD, MS, New Mountain Capital, Executive Advisor and Operating Partner Quentin Clark, General Catalyst, Managing Director Matt Hawkins, Waystar, CEO & Board Member |
TRACK 6 – Interoperability Is Coming, but Is It All That We Need? The Interoperability rule potentially floods people with information about their health and, frankly, couldn’t have come at a better time. The pandemic may have just pushed us over the interoperability edge, so let’s decide what we really need and how to make it happen because the show of interoperability must go on. Moderator: Dr. Minal Patel, MD, MPH, Abacus Insights, Founder and CEO Erin Hoeflinger, Aetna, Senior Vice President Rajeev Ronanki, Anthem, SVP and Chief Digital Officer William Walders, Health First, Chief Information Officer |
| 11:00 AM | CENTER STAGE – Leaning In: How Payers Are Responding to the Pandemic, Systemic Racism and Health Disparities Issues of epic proportion are forcing payers, providers, policymakers and the populace alike to challenge the status quo, especially when it comes to fair and equal access to healthcare and coverage. Sen. Bill Frist, M.D., and Florida Blue President and CEO Pat Geraghty get real about the social dilemmas dogging progress and what healthcare payers, providers and technology players can do about it. |

Brad Smith, Deputy Administrator and Director of The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), and Emad Rizk, MD, Chairman, President and CEO of Cotiviti, mic up to discuss the latest payment models making waves, why the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is likely to accelerate the move toward value-based care, and what Smith and CMMI are doing to shift value-based care from “side project” to the core way the country pays for healthcare. |
