Welcome to the second annual MedStar Health Innovation Forum, Innovations In… Thinking Differently. Consider your time sifting through the slides, mind maps, audios, and videos as important time off from the tyranny of the daily (which always seems to trump the pursuit of the remarkable).
Below you will find sessions from three renowned keynote speakers (Allan Hamilton, Paul Plsek, Ben Shneiderman) whose presentations are framed by three 15 minute “short forms” done by MedStar associates (Phil Buescher, Seth Krevat, Ed Tori). Interspersed around and between sessions, you will find puzzles, problems and exercises designed to stretch your brain.
