HBI 2023

Why you as a hospital group should join us...​

The for-profit hospital market is becoming global with M&A creating massive players with sales of over $5bn. Meanwhile, the sector is becoming far more professional, with brand, quality, and marketing all changing fast. We haven’t seen anything yet. Healthcare Business International, now in its thirteenth year, is the only CEO event that brings together hospital CEOs from hospital groups and other stakeholders around the world to provide the market overview needed to steer their companies forward.

Leaders in hospital groups come for four reasons:

Network with investors

In 2022 no fewer than 144 investors in health care services attended this event. Meet and build relationships with the specialist investors who understand your industry.

Network with their peers

This is a rare opportunity to meet your opposite numbers, people who are wrestling with your issues.

Insights which boost sales and profits

We have two morning sessions dedicated to the acute sector where CEOs talk with remarkable honesty about their business models and experience. In other sessions, CEOs look at internationalisation, how the relationship with payors is set to change and the impact of Big Data and AI.

The broader vision you need

Today you need to understand the hospital sector internationally AND how other sectors, such as fertility, imaging, labs and ophthalmology, are changing. How is elderly and mental care evolving? All of this is covered in our agenda.

Perhaps it is not surprising that many hospital groups send CXO teams. Now, book your place at HBI 2023.

You have payors to public to private to hospitals, from ophthalmology to dentistry to general practitioners and down to diagnostics. In one day you can have 3-5 meetings with C-suite executives. This would take you months to get all these meetings done.

    This time it’s Personal: Rethinking patient pathways

    One-size-fits-all health care delivery is stuck in the past. Using data, genomics and an understanding of each patients specific needs, environment and history and developing a personal care pathway is proving to increase outcomes and lower costs. Payors in markets such as France are starting to fund such an approach, opening up new revenue opportunities. This session evaluates early data from such endeavours and looks at how operators and health systems can scale-up efforts.

    AI and Big Data: Outcomes and Automation

    How can and have health care operators implemented AI and big data platforms to improve patient outcomes? Where are we on the journey to automate delivery of care? And how what commercial models work best?  Using imaging and radiotherapy case studies, this session outlines what is possible now and where the technology will take us next. We look at how AI enables reporting standardisation for radiologists and how automation in radiotherapy will one day soon take diagnosis to treatment from 2 weeks to just 15 minutes!
