The solutions-driven event will convene experts from Johns Hopkins Medicine and PFPS US with key representatives of health systems, government, industry and policy and patient groups to spark initiatives to reduce preventable harm and improve health outcomes.
Experts from diverse sectors will engage in facilitated work groups to prioritize actions in three areas:

Groups will consider best use of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies, roles of financial and policy incentives, priorities for research, and implementation of best practices.
The day will conclude with an interactive panel session followed by a rooftop reception with panoramic views of Washington, D.C. Priorities identified at the symposium will drive a clearer understanding of strategic investments needed to support healthcare improvements and opportunities for ongoing collaborative action will follow.
