Better Health, Lower Cost: Can Innovation Save Health Reform?

The Center for Health Policy (CHP) and the Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research (PCOR) at Stanford are hosting a one-day high level invitation only conference in honor of their 10th anniversary.

The conference will provide a West Coast forum to discuss how and whether innovation in health care delivery, payment incentives, and technology could play a pivotal role in improving access to high quality health care globally. The ties between innovation and health care expenditures will be explored as speakers from business, government, foundations and academia discuss the domestic and developing world contexts.
