Managing the uncertainty of reformWhat lies ahead for life sciences and health care? |
2011 saw the passage into law of milestone healthcare legislation in the United States, and the beginnings of a sweeping overhaul of the entire U.S. healthcare system. The implications for stakeholders across the global healthcare continuum are potentially profound, but the process of reform is fraught with political risk. How can life science and healthcare companies manage for this uncertainty, and what lies ahead for the global industry after U.S. healthcare reform?
The Financial Times U.S. Healthcare and Life Sciences Conference, developed by the Financial Times (FT) in collaboration with Deloitte, will bring together an international line-up of industry experienced professionals/specialists, government decision-makers, and leading market commentators to review the shifting sands of the health care industry, and assess the bottom-line impacts and potential implications for business and commercial strategies.
Register for the 6 June 2012 event in New York City (#FTushc12 on Twitter) and explore this collection of global Deloitte thought leadership addressing conference topics and the ongoing change in the life sciences and healthcare industry.
