Dear all,

We are proud to host a very special guest from the US for a (hybrid) Lunch Talk at 1 pm on May 22nd: Ezekiel Emanuel MD, PhD, Vice Provost for Global Initiatives and the Diane v.S. Levy and Robert M. Levy University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Emanuel is an oncologist and world leader in health policy and bioethics. He is a Special Advisor to the Director General of the World Health Organization, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, and member of the Council on Foreign Relations.  He was the founding chair of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health and held that position until August of 2011. From 2009 to 2011, he served as a Special Advisor on Health Policy to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and National Economic Council. In this role, he was instrumental in drafting the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Emanuel also served on the Biden-Harris Transition Covid Advisory Board. The title of his talk: The Future of the US Health Care System: Goals, Performance, and Reforms

Abstract:

The US health care system is not working well—it is not realizing any of its 5 major goals. The Trump administration is trying to dismantle the health care system. It needs not just reform but transformation. Part of that transformation requires focusing on more standardization at every level of health care—from insurance and payment to clinical care for common diseases, focusing on chronic conditions with team based care, and focusing on those who live a short time.
