Overview
IHS is pleased to announce an academic research symposium, “Barriers to Innovation and Autonomy in Health Care,” in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on October 26. This program will precede the 2024 American Public Health Association (APHA) annual meeting and expo.
The program will feature a panel including Alicia Plemmons, Lauren K. Hall, and Jessica Flanigan, a discussion session, and a keynote address by Kristin Trujillo on restoring trust in science. Over the course of the day, we will discuss various applied topics in health care, including patient and provider autonomy, workforce challenges, regulatory limitations, and the implications for preventative care, wellness, and patient outcomes.
Attendees will walk away with potential solutions to issues in their own medical practices/centers/hospitals, information about what barriers lie in the way of innovations (and why), new connections that can help them implement cutting-edge research in their work, and a community of like-minded individuals they can tap to help drive real change.
