Lessons from the Pandemic:
Building a Secure Health System
Guest Speaker: Denis Cortese, M.D.
Tuesday, March 9 | 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. MST
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the frailties of the U.S. healthcare system, while spurring unprecedented innovation and collaboration as healthcare delivery shifted to televisits, traditional competitors shared information and resources, and businesses large and small stepped up to produce critical supplies.
The lessons from the pandemic are laying the foundation for healthcare institutions to ensure their ongoing ability to serve the needs of patients and communities, in times of both normalcy and crisis. The supporting strategic pillars of a resilient health system are its infrastructure, workforce, and supply chain/logistics.
The 2021 McKenna Lecture features Denis Cortese, M.D., Emeritus President and CEO, Mayo Clinic and Director of the Center for Healthcare Delivery & Policy at ASU. Dr. Cortese will share the results of work he is leading as President of the Healthcare Transformation Institute with eight competing health systems in the Phoenix area. Multidisciplinary leaders from each of the health systems identified the strategic pillars and are collaborating to develop the critical capabilities required in each of the pillars.
