About the ProgramJoin us virtually at noon ET on July 16 for our virtual interactive program, “The Globalization of Healthcare.”
It used to be said that all health care is local, but today’s healthcare environment is increasingly shaped by global forces. Across the world, healthcare organizations are facing many of the same challenges: rising costs, workforce strain, access barriers, quality variation, patient safety concerns, health inequities, and growing expectations for a more human-centered experience.
As healthcare becomes more globally connected, leaders have an important opportunity to learn from best practices across countries, cultures, and care delivery models. Around the world, organizations are developing innovative approaches to improve patient experience, employee experience, physician engagement, access to care, quality outcomes, safety, communication, and trust.
This discussion will explore how global healthcare systems are addressing the human experience of care and what U.S. healthcare leaders can learn from international quality frameworks, service excellence models, patient-centered practices, workforce engagement strategies, and safety improvement efforts.
Participants will examine current global trends influencing healthcare quality and human experience, including the impact of access, affordability, technology, workforce challenges, cultural expectations, health equity, and international collaboration. The session will also highlight how best practices shared globally can help healthcare organizations strengthen care delivery, improve outcomes, reduce variation, and create more consistent, compassionate, and reliable experiences for patients, families, physicians, and care teams.
Participants will leave with a broader understanding of how global healthcare insights can inform local strategy, support quality improvement, and advance the human experience across the continuum of care.

Panelists Will Discuss:

What are the current trends in the globalization of healthcare?• How did the Covid pandemic impact healthcare globalization?• What are the pros and cons of healthcare professionals working in multiple countries (international licensing arrangements
