Breakfast Forecast Conference: Healthcare and Filming

Breakfast Forecast Conference: Healthcare and Filming

TRACK FOUR, PANEL ONE:
Unearthing New Ways to Practice Medicine

As healthcare becomes a bigger issue in California and the nation, our panelists discussed technological innovations and best practices for healthcare delivery, including wearable technology, virtual reality, and robotics during surgical procedures. Although technology is progressing, patients are reluctant that it
will work. Dr. Spiegel revealed, “Cedars invited 86,000 patients to participate in using wearable technology, and only 0.7% participated.” However, Dr. Rott noted that “By using wearables after a heart attack, there was a 30% decrease seen in the number of deaths.” Moderator Carol Kim (Health Net) led a discussion with
panelists Jeff Allport (Valley Presbyterian Hospital), Dr. Erik Dutson (UCLA), Dr.John Rott (Kaiser Permanente), and Dr. Brennan Spiegel (Cedars-Sinai Health System). ‘Unearthing New Ways to Practice Medicine’ was sponsored by the Leavitt Group and Valley Presbyterian Hospital. This panel was part of the track
‘Finding the Treasure,’ sponsored by The Garland and Kaiser Permanente.

TRACK FOUR, PANEL TWO:
Lights Camera (Phone), Action!

Los Angeles’ most famous industry has an impact on our whole economy, and a panel moderated by Sarah Walsh (Motion Picture Assoc. of America) discussed what the future of filming looks like. Panelists Michelle Kempner (Buzzfeed), Amy Lemisch (California Film Commission), Kevin James (City of Los Angeles) and Tom Lynch (Tom Lynch Company) noted the changes and abundance in
content such as short ‘webisodes’ are transforming the industry. However, Tom Lynch noted, “Content is part of the global experience. Therefore, there is no such thing as too much content.” They also discussed how the workforce pipeline has migrated from traditional film schools to self-study and on the job training. The panel was sponsored by AT&T and was part of the ‘Finding the Treasure’ track,
sponsored by The Garland and Kaiser Permanente.
