Mark Hertling, DBA, Lieutenant General, US Army (retired); Advisor, AdventHealth Leadership Institute; and Senior Military Analyst, CNN

Please note, Dr. Hertling does not release his slides; however, he did provide the following outline of his keynote presentation.

As healthcare increases in complexity, healthcare organizations are applying resources to design and execute leader development programs. This presentation will show examples of these programs and how an interprofessional approach to leader development is the most effective. 

Christopher Moriates, MD, Executive Director, Costs of Care; Assistant Dean for Healthcare Value and Associate Chair for Quality, Safety & Value, Dell Medical School at the University of Texas 

This session will describe our shared motivation for providing value-based health care for our patients. It is not related to readmissions penalties. And it is not primarily the realm of financial experts. We will discuss the progression from awareness (transparency and recognizing the physical and financial harms of overuse) to appropriateness (Choosing Wisely and cutting out clinical waste) to affordability for patients. Dr. Moriates will also provide examples about how physicians, administrators, data scientists and others can all work together to figure out how to provide the best care at lowest cost.
