S2: E07: The DOCSF Politics Desk

On this podcast we dive into policy and its impact on healthcare. We were very fortunate to have Dr. Tom Barber from UCSF leading the panel. Tom was the chair of the Council for Advocacy for the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and his experience roaming the halls of congress coupled to his personal interest in health care policy made him a perfect person to bring our audience up to date with policy issues relevant to health care. Let’s join Tom as he introduces his panel of experts on the stage at DOCSF 2019, namely Catherine Boudreaux Hays from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dale C. Van Demark from McDermott Will & Emory law firm in Washington D.C. , and Mahek Shah from Harvard Business School. --- Learn more about the DOCSF conference by visiting docsf.health ---

The Digital Orthopaedics Conference San Francisco (DOCSF) was created to bridge the worlds of digital health and clinical orthopaedics and thereby catalyze the adoption of technology in musculoskeletal care. This podcast series features key speakers and highlights from the live event. Why orthopaedics? We believe that embedding digital technologies in a narrow integrated vertical is more likely to affect change than targeting one-fifth of the U.S. economy. We also believe that if a conference is to move the ball forward, it needs to target leaders who are positioned to drive change. These leaders want a conference that is practical, identifies solutions to real problems, and that provides perspective from people outside their normal circle. To this end, we invite Health Care, Industry, Finance, Entrepreneurs and Payers to participate. The DOCSF program design uses many educational formats including ‘case studies’ to illustrate success and a broad panel of experts to ask tough questions. And because change does not happen in a vacuum, we include leadership, policy and design segments in the program. Find out more, and register for our next conference, by visiting docsf.health.
