The Reality of Health Reform: Practical Paths to Survival and Growth

As one of the few speakers who maintained political independence during the latest battles to overhaul parts of the health care system, Dr. Bauer presents a balanced analysis of differences between reform's rhetoric and reality. He explains what happened in Washington, what's next, and what to do in response to the overhaul law passed in March, 2010. This presentation is constantly updated to reflect the ongoing battles between competing interest groups, and it forecasts important changes that are still likely to happen. His informative, comprehensive speech begins with a "big picture" view and then focuses on implications and responses from the perspective of each audience's specific interests.

Forecasting the Future of Health Care: Challenges and Opportunities

One of the country's most respected health futurists, Dr. Bauer presents an informative and entertaining analysis of the forces that define possibilities for medical care. He explains different methods for looking ahead and forecasts the future based on his in-depth analysis of the key trends -- medical science, technology, demography and epidemiology, reimbursement, and organization of the delivery system. Implications of key trends and practical responses are presented with respect to the audience's special interests. This presentation is presented with respect to the audience's special interests. This presentation is continually updated to reflect the latest changes in forces that shape the future.

Paradox and Imperatives in Health Care: Efficiency, Effectiveness, and E-Transformation

This presentation summarizes the key points of Dr. Bauer's challenging new (2008) book by the same title. He shows why unprecedented financial circumstances threaten failure for health care providers that pursue "business as usual." Dr. Bauer clearly explains how sound economic principles and proven management tools can prevent inevitable failures if significant changes are not made. The presentation reveals how providers can draw upon internal resources to increase net revenue and provide the quality of care that payers and consumers are demanding at prices they are willing to pay. It shows why waste must be eliminated and how future-focused leaders can put their organizations on a positive path while redirection is still possible. It is an inspiring speech about how providers can do it right all the time, as inexpensively as possible.

Rural Healthcare In America: What's Next?

Rural communities range in their demographics and environmental, economic, and social characteristics. These differences influence the magnitude and types of health problems these communities face.

Jeff addresses the quality of healthcare in rural areas and discusses services and essential infrastructure necessary to deliver those services to rural communities. At the top of the list is establishing a stronger healthcare quality improvement support structure to assist rural health systems and professionals. Essential to success is enhancing the human resource capacity of healthcare professionals in rural communities and expanding the preparedness of rural residents to actively engage in improving their health and healthcare. Financial stability and an investment in information and communications technology is critical. Recognizing the need to improve both the quality of individual-level care and the health of rural communities and populations is the major theme of this program.
