Infectious diseases have always impacted human history, but in the past 50 years we have managed to control or eliminate some infectious diseases through improved hygiene, vaccination, antimicrobials, advances in medicine and public health policies. However, the current pandemic is a reminder that we need to continue to pursue our efforts to control these pathogens, especially with intercontinental travel and increased mobility of people and animals.

To manage infectious diseases, we use tools such as vaccines, antibiotics, antivirals, diagnostic tools and biomarkers. But today there are many infectious diseases for which we do not have satisfactory preventive tools or treatment options, such as SARS-CoV-2, Zika virus, Ebola virus, multidrug resistant bacteria, HIV, Malaria. To develop these future tools, collaboration is essential, either for sourcing assets in the vaccine, antiviral or antibiotic space, or for finding research tools to help in screening, in-vivo modelling, clinical trials and diagnostics and biomarkers.

Genetics and genomics are becoming crucial to clinical care. As the “precision medicine” revolution spreads, cancer treatment, rare disease diagnosis, and cardiac care increasingly use genomics. Unfortunately, law and policy lag behind science, and the law governing genomics remains unclear and contested.

This is the third event from the LawSeqSM project, an NIH-funded project to shape the law of genomics and build a solid foundation for clinical integration. This event will be a highly interactive meeting of multidisciplinary experts to share their analysis of US federal and state genomics law and policy to recommend changes in order to support successful integration of genomics into clinical care.

We will offer General CLE credits for New York, California, Illinois and Minnesota.

Health care leaders from IBM, Optum, and Studer Group discuss the future of health care

Caravan Health will host its fifth Accountable Care Symposium, the first held virtually, for thought leaders, decision-makers, and frontline practitioners in accountable care from across the nation. From December 7-10, health care visionaries will have the opportunity to listen to keynote speakers, learn best practices from peers, and watch and support awards presentations.

Among the confirmed speakers are:

Dr. Patrick Conway, Chief Executive Officer, Care Solutions at Optum
Dr. Rahul Rajkumar, Senior Vice President Chief Medical Officer, BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina
Dr. Kyu Rhee, Chief Medical Officer, IBM Watson Health
Joe Scarborough, MSNBC commentator and host of Morning Joe

“Trust and communication are at the core of any organization’s success,” said Quint Studer, best-selling author and health care thought leader. “In this most unusual year, learning to manage change and adapt quickly is more important than ever. I look forward to connecting again with Caravan Health and their partners as they chart a path forward in value-based care.”

Dr. Kyu Rhee, the Chief Medical Officer at IBM Watson Health, has worked extensively in community health and equity while reinventing the culture of health care. He is highly respected in the industry and has encouraged the transition from value-based care to “values-based care”.

“It’s no longer enough to provide patient care,” commented Dr. Rhee. “Using technology will open new doors so that we continue delivering high-quality, sustainable value-based care in the new year.”

The four-day virtual event will combine four different learning topics geared to all levels of ACO experience and a wide range of organizational roles. These topics include program and policy updates, best practices for better patient care, strategies for financial success and sustainability and innovations in technology. On December 9, Former Congressman (R-FL) and co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, Joe Scarborough, will share his perspectives on what our nation can expect in 2021.

Dr. Patrick Conway, CEO of Care Solutions at Optum, is scheduled to speak on improving patient care and will focus part of his presentation on redemption after failure. Prior to Optum, Dr. Conway was the CEO of BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina and before that was Chief Medical Officer, Deputy Administrator and Director for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation at Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Dr. Conway added: “The symposium is an incredible opportunity for health care leaders across the country to learn how to secure their future in risk-based payment models, and connect with top practitioners and experts in population health. I’m passionate about how to improve patient care using value-based care models and looking forward to connecting with colleagues at the event.”
