Following are a sampling of the speakers who will be presenting:

During “Intelligent Continuous Integrated Care (ICONIC): Clinical Innovation Through Transitions of Care,” these Mayo Clinic leaders will share lessons learned from the two years of framework implementation.
- Join Marcus Osborne, retail health expert/former senior vice president, Walmart Health, and Caitlin Donovan, global head, Uber Health, Tuesday, March 21, for “Hot Topic: The Next Phase of Retail Health and Wellness.” These leading experts in the retail health space will discuss how healthcare delivery models are evolving to meet consumer demands.

How DEI Contributes to Effective Leadership
Ensuring that diversity, equity and inclusion becomes part of a health system’s bloodstream—and not just a program or a box to check—is vital to effective leadership that ensures provider teams feel well cared for, want to stay and perform at the top of their abilities, system leaders say.
In a recent Healthcare Executive article, we share providers’ approaches for recruiting and retaining diverse workforces. For example, Karen Mayer, RN, FACHE, professor at Rush University College of Nursing’s doctoral program, encourages healthcare leaders to hire diverse employees for entry-level positions like nursing assistants and then offering them educational staff benefits so they can work their way up.
