The session description used for the keynote:
***Today's Trends - Tomorrow's Opportunities***
*Futurist Jim Carroll will give us a brief overview of the innovations affecting business and what they will mean to our economy and that of the world. His unique views... will provide a smorgasbord of what businesses will succeed in the coming decades and the types of skills workers will need in the future....no matter what the business. There is no doubt that the delivery of health care is influenced by the state of our economy . As Jim takes us on a voyage of what health care will look like in 2020, he won't even mention the phrase 'health care reform'. He'll address what key innovations will affect health care and health care delivery, as well as how we are going to pay for it. In doing so, he will challenge the usual assumptions we make as trustees with respect to the future. There is no doubt that we are transitioning from a system which "fixes people after they're sick" to one of that is focused on preventative, diagnostic and genomic-based medicine. Join us for this thought provoking and mind expanding presentation.*
I'm getting a tremendous number of bookings and inquiries from groups throughout the healthcare, pharmaceutical, medical and other sectors for a keynote that looks at the concept of Healthcare 2020: which takes a look at the real scientific, demographic, social, technological and other trends that are providing for real health care transformation.
People are sick to talking about and listening to others talk about Washington-centric health care reform, and want to know what's really going to happen. That's why I come in.
[caption id="attachment_9401" align="aligncenter" width="500"][](/category/trends/health-care-trends/) Jim Carroll speaks to 4,500 pharmacists at IdeaShare 2011 in San Francisco, on the theme of "changing opportunities, changing roles." His job was to encourage innovative thinking as to how they can seize opportunities in the health care system, by thinking about the major trends which are changing the system out to the year 2020.[/caption]
