Rod Young We have an experienced and knowledgeable community of health care executives, med-tech/biotech leaders, and policymakers who understand the importance of seeing beyond the individual patient encounter. We must increase our focus on lifestyle management and relevant consumer outcomes. We need to provide data that demonstrates effectiveness and notable ROI. |
Innovate Toward New Care Models
 |
MaryAnn Stump Think critically, creatively, and collaboratively about new ways to organize care. The way services are currently delivered—from clinic visits, to hospital care, to basic dental care, to care at the beginning and end of life, should be redesigned based on meeting the needs of consumers. New care models, along with realigned payment and financing practices, and information tools to democratize care so consumers can choose their best-fit options would set us on a better course for all. |

Dan McWhorter We know from the medical-device and drug industries that it is possible to design and implement systems that improve quality, foster innovation, and reduce cost. There needs to be a dramatic change in our culture about disease prevention. |

Jeannine Rivet Many well-meaning regulations and current practices actually prevent us from trying pilots of new care models. As with any problem, we need to look at root causes and identify approaches to test new solutions. Also, technology is moving faster than many health care providers have the capacity to adopt. As an example, we should be using card swipe technology to simplify administration. I am confident we will learn how to improve health status and outcomes to be more efficient and less costly while focusing on evidence-based care. |

Keith Halleland We need to continue to invest in the new iteration of medical devices by more tax credits for angel investments up to $100,000. The University of Minnesota is a strong hub of innovation and should continue to enable entrepreneurs. |
