From the evolution of the "New Mature Consumer" to the influence of the sequencing of the human genome, healthcare as we know it is about to change - permanently. Will the advent of genomic medicine prove to be "a terrible gift"? How will breakthroughs in the brave new world of genomic medicine and the rising age wave dramatically alter our abilities to diagnose, treat and prevent disease? What is the profile of this "New Mature Consumer"? How will healthcare leaders address the unprecedented challenges to our concerns with privacy, risk, ethics, and cost? What are the physical, social, economic and political crises healthcare leaders will face as we age into this new future? This unique presentation/ workshop frames the key issues, explores strategies, and seeks answers to key questions healthcare leaders are about to confront in 21st century healthcare.
