The people living through them are usually oblivious to the significance of their times. Denizens of the Renaissance didn’t know they were bridging Medieval times and the Early Modern Age. They simply lived their lives and enjoyed the growing interest in arts\, science and philosophy. In healthcare\, by contrast\, we of the 21st century are fully conscious that we are entering a new historical epoch. For some\, it’s liberating to see our industry moving forward – propelled by government\, technology\, and consumerism. But the pace of change has sped up. What began as a modest trot has turned into a mad dash without a clear finish line.\n\nCleveland Clinic wants to end the madness. We’re ready to clear the landscape of buzzwords\, bring the players together\, and establish clear strategies for change. This year\, the Cleveland Clinic Medical Innovation Summit will be devoted to the single most important topic in our industry: Healthcare Transformation. The 2016 Medical Innovation Summit will bring the energy and intellectual firepower of physicians\, scientists\, entrepreneurs\, inventors\, investors\, and the best minds in law\, media and government into one place\, at one time\, with one goal: to identify and activate the most exciting opportunities for innovation. The whole concept of healthcare delivery – from hospitals\, to clinics\, to appointments\, and doctor visits – is changing even as we plan. Get ready for new modules\, different types of speakers\, and an array of enlightening and disruptive ideas.\n\nThe 2016 Medical Innovation Summit will be a creative act from beginning to end. We will use the ideas of speakers and attendees to articulate a unified approach to innovating the healthcare system. Times of change are times when individual innovators can have a major impact on the lives and fortunes of those around them. The eyes of future historians will be upon us. Let's return their gaze with confidence\, and deliver the best that our era has to offer. Come to Cleveland for the Medical Innovation Summit in October\, and ignite a new age of medicine.\n\nAmerican-Turkish Council Members can use the code TURK16 to receive a $200 discount off the a full access pass to the Summit. Code expires on October 7\, 2016.\n\nRegister Today.
