It's mid-January, so it must be time for the JP Morgan Healthcare conference, where tens of thousands of biotech and healthcare companies and investors come together in San Francisco to network and make plans for the year ahead.But with the pandemic, rival conferences, and bad press about San Francisco, is the JPM conference still relevant in 2024?
This week on the podcast we are in San Francisco at the 41st JP Morgan Healthcare conference talking with Jonathan Norris, Managing Director at SVB Life Sciences, and Austin Barrett , Head of Life Sciences at Savills. In the conversation we discuss the sights and sounds coming from the conference, a look back at Life Science funding in 2022, and we get an inside look at the health of the industry with the author of Silicon Valley Bank's Annual Healthcare Venture Report. Jon also has some tips for Life Science companies seeking new funding, and some predictions for 2023.
The JP Morgan Healthcare conference is a great place to check the instruments and see how the industry is doing. Today we take a look at what we heard.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Health Disparities were front and center at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference. A small sample.Health Disparities"While African-Americans comprise of only about 14% of the state's population, they comprise 40% of the deaths related to COVID 19, the state of Michigan." Henry Ford Health System"We have two times the rate for hypertension in our African-American population than we do in our Caucasian". Advocate-AuroraDE&I"Our board approved our 2021 KPIs, which include improving workforce diversity, specifically racial and ethnic diversity for leadership and improving access to care in all the communities where we serve as part of our board recruitment process, we added two wonderful board members to SSM health. They bring racial diversity and tremendous gifts and talents and depth to our dialogue perspectives and work. We added diversity training, exploring unconscious bias for our leaders. We address that in every one of our leadership council meetings. Over the course of the year, we updated our socially adjust wage policy and recently implemented a new minimum wage across our system, which affected directly 1700 of our employees." SSM HealthMore on Today's podcast.
2021 will be the year that Cybersecurity finally becomes a top priority for healthcare. No really, this is the year. What are my data points. At the JPM conference this week I heard more executives talk about cybersecurity than at previous meetings. In fact, OhioHealth CEO floored me with their COVID plan which placed Cyber as one of the top two items back in March. Here's a quote."It's been my experience that when you think about cyber, which is very, very important when you're going to get a cyber attack, it's when you're looking the other way. So we put that at the right, at the top of our list, we had a high emphasis from the very start". Dr. Steven Markovich, President and CEO of OhioHealthRod Hochman, M.D. the CEO of Providence published his annual predictions for healthcare this week and coming in at number 3 was "Cybersecurity becomes a burning priority for health systems."This year it makes the scorecard, right next to safety, employee satisfaction, and profitability. Since there is a cyber war raging, that probably makes sense.
Day 2 of JP Morgan Healthcare is in the books. We are exploring the universal themes from Healthcare Providers. The Non-profit track is complete with 16 providers presenting to institutional investors. In previous years each health system had a set of growth strategies. We saw global expansion, investment and innovation strategies, new service organizations rising from within and taken out, M&A, low-asset moves into markets among others. #JMPHC21 was about the core.#COVID made all healthcare focus on and therefore present on their core business. How did you provide care to the communities you serve? Did your supply chain work? How did you operate while keeping your staff safe? How was your communication with the community during the pandemic? How did you utilize technology and digital tools? How did you address civil unrest in your community and in your staff? and How did and will you address health disparities, inequities, and systemic racism?oh, and did you do all of these things while maintaining a strong balance sheet and operating cash flow.2020 was a pause for Health System growth. But it revealed which health systems and management teams are ready for growth in 2021 and beyond.
JPM Healthcare conference (#JPMHC21) day one is in the books. If there was one theme from provider presenters it was __________. Answer below. What are your thoughts?I listened to 11 providers present to bondholders and institutional investors on their journey through COVID, their financial outlook, and plans moving forward.COVID hit the financials of every healthcare organization. The CARES act funding was extremely helpful to fill the three-month hole in most of their financials.Some weathered the storm just fine. What was the difference between health systems that showed financial strength even in the face of the pandemic? One word. Diversification. All systems talked about diversification, but the financials of 2020 will reveal each health system's progress on their business and revenue diversification journey.Simple conclusion. 2021 - 2025 will be loaded with revenue/business diversification efforts from health systems.
What does not perfect but pretty darn good look like for vaccine distribution communication from a state perspective?FloridaThe Good.- The Governor is over communicating. https://www.flgov.com- There are many sites to get the vaccine. https://lnkd.in/gkHEkmD- You can register at the county website. https://lnkd.in/g9esqAQ- Multiple channels of communication. The COVID-19 Call Center is available 24/7 1 (866) 779-6121 | COVID-19@flhealth.gov | For Important Updates Text FLCOVID19 to 888-777- Expectations on amount of vaccine per location and instructions are readily available. https://lnkd.in/gHjMGWaCould be better.- The county website doesn't have an updated SSL certificate. Some browsers will warn that it is not a secure site.- The information is obvious on Florida.gov website, it is more like a google site so you have to search. Banner would be nice.Political hacks are everywhere. I'm not a fan. This is a serious challenge and requires our best to partner for the good of those we serve.Today the JP Morgan Healthcare conference starts. This conference brings financial and investors together with biotech, pharma, retail, startups and providers. I go to the non-profit provider track. I get a glimpse into last years performance and next years plans for roughly 16 health systems.

Dan Michelson’s recap of the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in Becker’s Hospital Review has become a must-read over the past few years – whether you attend the conferences or not. Dan’s organization, Strata Decision Technology, works with more than 1,000 hospitals from hundreds of health systems on their financial planning, analytics and performance. And as CEO, he has a unique view across systems that allows him to neatly unpack and bring clarity to the various sessions and conversations that occur throughout the JPM conference.Dan’s insight is especially welcome when it comes to the conversations that happen in the secluded confines of the thirty-second floor of the Westin St. Francis Hotel during JPM week. That’s where dozens of CEOs and CFOs from the nation’s largest health systems gather to hear presentations from their peers about high-level strategies in this rapidly changing market. If you’ve read Dan’s articles and wondered how he got started writing them, or if you’ve wanted to hear directly from him with more context on his thoughts, here is your chance. In this episode of Healthcare is Hard, Keith Figlioli’s conversation with Dan brings his JPM recap to life. This year, based on all the provider presentations and many one-on-one conversations, Dan outlines the 10 questions that health systems should be asking and answering to guide the future of their organizations. He and Keith take a deep dive into these questions, discussing topics including:Performance. Looking at whether a leadership team should spend their time focusing on performance or building a budget is one of the important questions Dan outlines for health systems. He explains the choices systems have in more detail, using OSF Healthcare as an example. The Peoria, Illinois-based provider shifted away from traditional budgeting processes in favor of a rolling approach and according to Dan, saved 20,000 hours of leadership time and more than $1 million in spend.Market share. Dan says providers need to change their mindset and think differently about how they define market share as healthcare evolves. In addition to the “share of cup” analogy Dan explained in his written recap, he talks about his experience hearing Walmart’s head of healthcare discuss the retail behemoth’s view of the market. While providers believe they own the patient relationship, he points out how only half of Americans say they have a primary care provider and among the other half, two-thirds haven’t visited their primary care provider in years. With that data, what does Walmart have to say about the market and the patient-provider relationship? “Alright, we’ll take the other 84%.”The “other five” questions. While Dan’s article framed the ten questions providers should be asking, Keith calls him to task for adding another five at the end of the piece without full explanations. Dan says his point is that the ten specific questions health systems are asking themselves doesn’t really matter; what really matters is that they’re asking tough questions like these at the executive level. However, he explains why he thinks questions about affordability are the ones that leave health systems most exposed right now. To hear Dan and Keith’s conversation, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.
