The State of the System</strong>, moderated by <strong>Lynn Hanessian (The Engager Company)</strong> and featuring <strong>Dave Johnson (CEO, 4Sight Health).</strong> Johnson reflects on the accelerating pace of change across health care, outlining five macro forces placing unprecedented strain on the system and arguing that incremental solutions can no longer address exponential challenges.
