This panel is a mock debate between a fictional Entrepreneur, Provider, Payor and Patient to illustrate the competing agendas as to what is considered “valuable” innovation and why. Panelists will address not only the inherent conflicts of these different constituencies, but also provide ideas about navigating in a market of new realities: rising costs of innovation, a challenging reimbursement environment, and an emphasis on healthcare cost containment.
