Elevating Standards of Care with Innovative Technologies: Gains and Gaps

In today’s fast-evolving healthcare ecosystem, leaders are racing to raise standards of care through cutting-edge innovation. Yet despite major gains—from AI-driven diagnostics to decentralized clinical trials—many organizations struggle to translate innovation into consistent, equitable impact. This session brings together visionary executives and forward-thinking academics to explore how the most successful organizations are closing these gaps. Attendees will walk away with fresh insights and actionable strategies to accelerate tech-enabled transformation and deliver on the full promise of innovation.

Understanding the Patient Better to Provide Better Care

In an industry where every decision has the potential to impact patient outcomes, understanding the patient must be everyone’s responsibility—not just those on the frontlines. Yet many leaders across healthcare still struggle to connect their daily work to the real needs, experiences, and voices of patients. This panel brings together executives from HBA’s corporate partners who are leading the way in embedding patient understanding into every level of their organizations. They’ll share how they are bridging gaps between strategy and lived experience, using patient insights to drive innovation, build trust, and deliver more equitable care. Attendees will gain practical strategies and fresh inspiration to better connect their work to the patients they ultimately serve—no matter their role.
