Digital Orthopaedic Conference San Francisco

The aim of the UCSF Digital Orthopaedics Conference San Francisco (DOCSF) is to catalyze the implementation of technological solutions in the world of orthopaedics. • The premise of the DOCSF is that focusing on a highly integrated vertical within health care is a more effective way to test and implement technology than doing so in the broader and amorphous health care space. • We believe that orthopaedics and musculoskeletal care, which comprises up to 20 percent of the health care annual spend, has a short cycle time, is centralized and is relatively high cost, is the perfect vertical within which to focus and integrate digital assets. Designed for executives and leaders who want to champion the digital health revolution in the field of musculoskeletal care, this highly interactive symposium will: • Provide a forum for health care providers to clearly state their needs and for technology companies to clearly state their capabilities. The goal is to bridge opportunities with solutions in the musculoskeletal vertical. • Use the case study format to elucidate the impact of technology on cost, quality and access in real world scenarios. These small, interactive sessions focus on the challenges of implementation and the learned lessons of experience. • Include thought provoking sessions on change management and leadership, focusing on how to best deploy technology in health care. • Summarize the most important changes in the world of policy and politics and how they will impact health care in the immediate future. • Gather the most innovative and influential companies in digital health today and provide an overview of how technology and digital health trends will impact orthopedic care.
