Healthcare providers worldwide are pressured to address the intersection of financial challenges and workforce shortages. The pandemic accelerated digital adoption while straining finances, pushing hospitals and health systems to navigate delayed demand recovery, rising supplier prices, and talent retention issues. We will explore how hospitals are navigating the financial crisis and at the same time address the need to invest in the development and retention of their workforce.
You will hear from US and DK hospitals on how they are coping with these developments and listen to representatives from Karolinska Institute how their innovative nurse strategy is addressing some of these issues.

The environments in which healthcare is delivered and the quality of the services are significantly shaped by organizational culture. Research is required to establish which initiatives and programmes promote innovation as well as how innovation culture can be assessed and quantified.
This conversation will enlighten our audience on some of the organizational choices that contribute to US and Danish hospitals’ success in developing and maintaining a tradition of innovation in healthcare settings.

Many regard the hospital-at-home model as a viable way to increase value as hospitals re-evaluate how and where they deliver care to patients. Some patients who require acute-level treatment can receive it at home rather than in a hospital thanks to the emergence of hospital-at-home programs enables by technology. in the US, it has been demonstrated that this approach to care delivery lowers costs, improves results, and improves patient satisfaction.
The conversation will dive into how hospitals can provide acute-level care in patients’ homes, and highlights case examples of hospitals that successfully improved value through their home hospital programs with the help of technological solutions.

Quantum and AI – is the ecosystem ready for it?
Speakers:
Jan B Lillelund, CTO, Executive Architect, IBM
Wolf Rittershofer, Associate Partner, EY
Henning Langberg, Professor in Innovation and data, Copenhagen University
Moderator: Thomas Straumits, Chief Executive, BD, EY Scandinavia
​
The quantum community has discovered problems that can't be handled with classical machine learning, but are efficiently solvable on quantum computers. That means it's only a matter of time before the technology has real-world value. The question is no longer whether quantum computing will speed up applications in the world of healthcare – it's when.
The talk will introduce the audience to the quantum technology, the Danish growing expertise in this field and its expected applications to healthcare segments and hospitals unsolved issues.
