This session will dive into practical applications, discussing real-world case studies where microgrids have improved energy efficiency, reliability, and flexibility. Gain insights into the latest technologies, implementation strategies, and design considerations that optimize microgrid performance for critical environments. If you are considering microgrids, discover actionable approaches to harness their full potential.
The inpatient setting is being improved by more sophisticated quality metrics drawn from an ecosystem of interconnected digital health tools. The care patients receive can be decided in consultation with decision support software that is informed not only by expert judgments but also by algorithms that draw on information from patients around the world, some of whom will differ from the “typical” patient. However, recent developments in data analytics also suggest barriers to change that might be more substantial in the health care field than in other parts of the economy. Despite the immense promise of health analytics, the industry lags other major sectors in taking advantage of cutting-edge tools. Most health care organizations, for example, have yet to devise a clear approach for integrating data analytics into their regular operations.
This program will focus on the role that data and advanced analytics play today and the potential role they will play in the future to impact operations, patient care, quality, safety, engagement & wellness, and healthcare costs. Attendees will learn the type of data and analytics that are in use today at health systems, lessons healthcare can learn from other industries, the challenges health systems face in integrating vast amounts of disparate data in real time and how to make the insights useful to the right people at the right time. The panel will also discuss how to optimize existing data and analytics initiatives at their organization.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, sustainability projects require more than just traditional funding avenues to thrive. In this session, we will explore relevant and innovative funding strategies that go beyond the conventional budget to support sustainability initiatives. Attendees will gain insights into various funding and financing opportunities for clean energy projects.
Experts will share real-world case studies, demonstrating how organizations have successfully secured financial backing for projects aimed at environmental and economic sustainability. Participants will leave with actionable tools and new strategies to secure funding, scale their projects, and maximize their impact in the sustainability space. Whether you’re a healthcare facility, educational facility, or a commercial business, this session will empower you to think outside the budget box and drive your sustainability projects to success.
Join us for an in-depth session on advancing decarbonization strategies within critical environments. We’ll explore the latest approaches for reducing carbon emissions through innovative design, energy optimization, and the integration of sustainable technologies. Discover how to prioritize carbon reduction in your projects while maintaining operational efficiency and resilience. Through case studies and expert insights, you’ll gain practical knowledge on implementing effective decarbonization measures and navigating the path toward a more sustainable, low-carbon future.
Disruptive innovation, a term coined by Harvard professor Clayton M. Christensen, is a transformative business model that leverages technology to help focus on making products and services more accessible and affordable. In healthcare delivery, disruptive innovations have the potential to decrease costs while improving both the quality and accessibility of care.
Disruptive innovations enable new applications and changes in behaviors. The current thinking with many innovators is a belief that a host of disruptive innovations would have wide implications for payers by shifting payment models to reward precision diagnostic tests and abilities of providers. Several current disruptive innovations like retail clinics, medical tourism, artificial intelligence, and point-of-care medical payments are making a major difference in how health care is delivered. This panel will focus on the role of innovation in the healthcare marketplace and examples of disruptive innovations that will change lives in health care.
