What are you most looking forward to at this year’s meeting?
This spring forum in 2023 is arguably one of the most unique forums I think I've ever had the opportunity to keynote. The year is post pandemic, and now we're endemic in terms of COVID-19. The clinical, business, and operational models that are transforming health care have been amplified, and we're all starting to understand how they are affecting everyday life in terms of the health care sectors we deal with.
What are the main drivers of health care market transformation that you’ll be discussing in your keynote presentation?
There'll be 3 areas of transformation that will be focused on.

From a business transformation perspective, I think it is the super aggregators and the consolidation of certain sectors of the health care economy. And from an operating perspective, I think, quite candidly, it is the appreciation of the workforce burnout and disparity issues that we've seen as a result of COVID-19 and the stress on the US health care system.
