Healthcare Reform: How It Impacts You

Many people have an opinion about our healthcare system and the importance of reform. Many even propose a solution. Few people, however, have broad knowledge of the components of the system and have really thought about what makes up our healthcare system, what drives its cost and what are the ethical, legal, economic and practical impacts on themselves, their companies, and our society.

Drawing on his experience as a hospital CEO, CFO, and his work in university research labs, life sciences companies, and physician practices, Irwin Hurn will provide a thought provoking analysis of healthcare and why it is so hard to manage. This presentation is a must if you want to be an informed supplier, service provider or thought leader.
