Breaking Through 2024
Forget what you’ve been told can’t be done. Push away regulations, deadlines, codes, budgets, and anything else standing in the way. Imagine if none of that were in play…
We asked participants for their most imaginative, innovative, and inspiring ideas for how to solve the challenges expected in the future delivery of healthcare. Breaking Through isn’t about what’s already been designed; it’s about what could be if the usual rules didn’t apply.
