How physician groups and hospital systems are looking at the future of the industry and what will challenge them on their path.
His views on how COVID impacted the future plans for each.
How do we sacrifice short-term gains for the better of the industry and his thoughts on the progress have we made up to this point.
Who will “survive and thrive” in the future of the industry as it evolves.
And finally, we discuss who the change agent is that will make these necessary changes possible.
