To thrive in the changing landscape of health care, it is important to develop a broad view that encompasses all tiers along the health care continuum, from pre-hospital to post-acute care, as well as cross-tier perspective on integration, ownership structure, and coordination.

How one communicates their new idea is often as important as the quality of the idea itself. Armed with the right set of skills and tactics, innovators can greatly increase their impact and ultimately the lives of patients.

Artificial Intelligence will transform health care. Using AI strategically and responsibly can offer better health care for all.

I hope students will take away from my course an appreciation of the incredible complexity of our health care system, and the ways in which shifting patterns of laws and regulations have structured the medical delivery system we have today. Law and medicine are deeply intertwined, and legal rules and institutions have done much to shape our current health care system. As we work toward health care reform, legal institutions have a similar role to play in streamlining and improving the way in which care is delivered in the United States.
