Chart Future Health Care Currents

We are pleased to announce that J. Ian Morrison, Ph.D., M.A., of the Health Futures Forum and Anderson Consulting will give the opening keynote address, "Prepare for Health Care in the New Millennium: Vision, Values, and Leadership," on April 11. How do you stay on track in today's roller coaster health care environment? Dr. Morrison's widely sought strategic insights on how to prepare for the new millennium in health care will help us avoid falling prey to fads, fiction, and fanatic management philosophies. We'll learn how the various actors are preparing for the future, and what our organization and we can do to take advantage of critical opportunities on the horizon. We'll be among the first to hear the latest analysis and insights on the political, economic, and context of change in health care in this exciting new addition to the opening session of the conference.
