Diagnosing & Treating Healthcare’s Misinformation Illness

A perfect storm of health misinformation is brewing. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence and social media, public health cuts, and health policy shifts risk worsening trust, outcomes, and costs. But misinformation's rise also presents healthcare executives with an opportunity to address these long-standing challenges in new ways, improving their organizations and patients' lives.

In this talk, globally recognized chief medical officer, technologist, and author of the bestselling book on health misinformation, Dead Wrong, Dr. Geeta Nayyar, MD, MBA ("Dr. G"), shows how conspiracy theory and conjecture are pushing healthcare to a reckoning.

Trust: The Key to a Healthy Workforce

Every company is a healthcare company. Because success depends on a healthy workforce, savvy businesses invest in their employees’ health. But that task’s getting more difficult. Trust in healthcare is declining amid rapid changes in artificial intelligence and social media, public health cuts, and health policy shifts, all of which risk leading workers astray. The result: worse outcomes and higher costs. But the trust gap also presents employers with an opportunity to address these long-standing challenges in new ways, improving their organizations and employees’ lives.

Building Trust at Scale

Trust in healthcare is under threat. As rapid changes in artificial intelligence and social media, public health cuts, and health policy shifts further erode confidence in the system, we risk worse outcomes and higher costs. But the trust gap also presents healthcare executives with an opportunity to address these long-standing challenges in new ways, improving their organizations and patients’ lives.
