Session 1 - Physician Landscape 2.0

Speaker: Daniel Kuzmanovich/Advisory Board

The physician landscape is evolving in ways
that contradict recent trends and
conventional wisdom. Daniel will examine recent
trends and how they align with conventional
wisdom.

• Physicians employed by hospitals and health systems have increased in recent years, but signs indicate this trend is slowing
• Independent physician practices are quietly getting bigger and stronger. While the number of physician-owned practices is declining, consolidation is creating larger, more powerful independent groups
• Physicians have more options than ever. At both the individual physician and physician group level, there is no shortage of suitors for physician talent. Understand these players and their goals 
• Physicians want partners, not bosses. Physicians place greater value on strategic partnerships where they have a “seat at the table”. Autonomy and influence is becoming a non-negotiable 
• The physician shortage is preventable. The healthcare industry can completely offset a physician shortage with the right care model and workflow changes

Closing Keynote - Picture Progress

In today’s world, we are all bombarded with the idealistic, picture perfect pressures that tell us, “You are not enough.”  Sure, we may know in our heads that what we see on social media is only a rouse, yet, we’re still plagued by the mirage of perfection. In this interactive presentation, JT will use the power of images to shift the perspective and help the audience go from picturing perfect, to picture progress in all aspects of their lives. Using group discussion, interactive activities, and powerful stories, JT will exhort the audience to leave the conference ready to live a transformed life committed progress over perfection.

Speaker: JT Thoms, Jackson and Coker
