1)      To understand what aspects of medical education which have been underemphasized will be important for the future of health care 

2)      To understand the educational and selection mechanisms that have created biases which limit physicians and physician leaders from being successful in a changing healthcare environment

3)      To realize the power of creative thought in assisting health care leaders as they confront an ever changing environment

4)      To separate the myths from the realities concerning the skill sets necessary to succeed in a healthcare future based on quality, service and technology

5)      To understand how other entities—business leaders, entrepreneurs, managed care organizations—view physicians and the opportunities in health care on the horizon, and what they are doing about it.

6)      To empower patients and business leaders to understand the role of complexity, teamwork and corporate best practices in ensuring patient safety

7)      To identify new “report cards” that are being developed for hospitals and healthcare providers and to recognize the business community’s role in demanding quality excellence

8)      To understand the most likely changes associated with healthcare reform and how that may affect you as a doctor, patient, businessperson or entrepreneur.  Given those changes there may be elements of all four in your successful future.
