SUMMARY:What Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Mean for the Health Sciences and Why Big Data Needs Them All
DESCRIPTION:MON\, MAR 9 / 5:30 PM PDT\nThe Commonwealth Club of California\nTaube Family Auditorium\n110 The Embarcadero\nSan Francisco\, CA 94105 \nPurchase Tickets on the Commonwealth Club Website\nSometimes\, because of the current political pushback\, one can get the false impression that the academic attention that has recently been paid to increasing a university’s diversity\, equity and inclusion profile is a new phenomenon—one that developed after the civil rights gains of minorities and women in the 1950s-70s. But the idea that people with different backgrounds\, experiences\, and viewpoints would produce better work by engaging with each other was a core principle of the first modern research university—which was founded in Germany in 1810. \nThe health sciences are especially dependent on accurate data\, and imaginative but reasoned analysis of that data\, and both the accuracy of the data and the usefulness of its analysis are put at risk by pretending that diversity\, equity and inclusion are harming universities\, including medical research universities\, rather than helping them. The known inaccuracies caused by a historical research emphasis on male health\, and inappropriate applications of those conclusions to female health due to the lack of research data on women\, are examples of the risks involved. \nJoin us to hear Dr. Robert Hiatt\, whose central focus at UCSF has been on building a strong transdisciplinary research and training program in epidemiology\, make the case for how scientifically harmful deemphasizing diversity could be\, and how the emergence of Big Data will be derailed quickly if the data that it uses has been corrupted by political whims distorting its scientific objectivity. \nNotes\nThis program has 2 types of tickets available: in-person and online-only. Please pre-register to receive a link to the live-stream event. \nIf you have symptoms of illness (coughing\, fever\, etc.)\, we ask that you either stay home or wear a mask. Our front desk has complimentary masks for members and guests who would like one. \nThe Commonwealth Club of California is a nonprofit public forum; we welcome donations made during registration to support the production of our programming. \nIn association with The Lundberg Institute and the Philip R Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California\, San Francisco (UCSF). \nSpeakers\n\nRobert Hiatt\nM.P.H.\, Ph.D.\, M.D.\, Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology\, UCSF School of Medicine \nIntroduction by George Lundberg\nM.D.\, Editor in Chief\, Cancer Commons; Editor at Large\, Medscape; Executive Adviser\, Cureus; Clinical Professor of Pathology\, Northwestern University; President and Chair\, The Lundberg Institute Moderator: George Hammond \nChair\, Humanities Forum

SUMMARY:The 15th Annual Lundberg Institute Lecture: Cancer Commons
DESCRIPTION:The Lundberg Institute marks the 15th anniversary of the California nonprofit Cancer Commons by dedicating its 15th annual lecture at Commonwealth Club World Affairs to a discussion of the unique approach Cancer Commons takes to helping cancer patients. \nSince its founding\, Cancer Commons has delivered personalized\, evidence-based guidance at no charge to more than 10\,000 patients and caregivers\, supported entirely by philanthropy. They provide patients and their care teams with the actionable information and data needed to make informed decisions\, and help identify and access an individualized regimen of therapies that specifically target the molecular drivers of their disease. Cancer Commons also refers patients to a myriad of precision oncology services to help them navigate the cancer maze and minimize trial and error. \nAs Cancer Commons helps patients in this way—identifying and accessing novel tests\, treatments\, and trials—we learn continuously from each patient’s experience. \nAnd then share that knowledge with the world. \n\n\nORGANIZER\nGeorge Hammond \nNOTES\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program has 2 types of tickets available: in-person and online-only. Please pre-register to receive a link to the live-stream event. \nIf you have symptoms of illness (coughing\, fever\, etc.)\, we ask that you either stay home or wear a mask. Our front desk has complimentary masks for members and guests who would like one. \nThe Commonwealth Club of California is a nonprofit public forum; we welcome donations made during registration to support the production of our programming. \n\nIn-person TicketsOnline-only Tickets \n\n\nA Humanities Member-led Forum program\nForums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club\, and they cover a diverse range of topics.

SUMMARY:14th Annual Lundberg Institute Lecture: AI in Healthcare: Will the Reality Match the Hype?
DESCRIPTION:AI in Healthcare: Will the Reality Match the Hype?\nTickets available now!\nPurchase tickets\nThe 14th annual Lundberg Institute Lecture features Robert Wachter of UCSF and his predictions about what advances artificial intelligence will make\, and will not make\, in health care. \nWhy has health care not undergone the kind of digital transformation that has completely remade industries ranging from retail to entertainment to travel? Wachter will discuss health care’s bumpy road to digital nirvana\, and why\, to paraphrase Hemingway\, generative AI may lead to medicine’s “gradually\, then suddenly” moment. \nJoin us for a preview of the ideas Dr. Wachter discusses in his latest book on AI and health care. \nORGANIZER\nGeorge Hammond \nNOTES\nThis program has 2 types of tickets available: in-person and online-only. Please pre-register to receive a link to the live-stream event. \nIf you have symptoms of illness (coughing\, fever\, etc.)\, we ask that you either stay home or wear a mask.

SUMMARY:13th Annual Lundberg Institute Lecture: It's Not Just the Genome\, AI Can Transform Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 13th annual Lundberg Institute Lecture to discuss the advances Artificial Intelligence is making in health care with Bob Matthews of MediSync. \nAI’s advances into various healthcare fields have recently burst into public consciousness — generating excitement\, concern\, and confusion among lay and professional observers. AI has already been relied upon in genomic medicine and in the automated analysis of diagnostic studies\, but ChatGPT and Bard have liberated imaginations to consider many more potential applications. The task at hand\, though\, is determining whether those liberated imaginations are being realistic or unrealistic. \nMedical news tends to focus on the newest and most technically glitzy innovations even though they sometimes perform less well than advertised. Matthews will explore the immediate opportunities AI has for affecting the care of the most prevalent and important medical conditions\, like chronic diseases\, as that could quickly influence both the quality and the total cost of such care for the largest number of patients. \nThis event will be live in person as well as live audio-video remote and delayed.\nLecturer\nRobert E Matthews\, President and CEO\, MediSync\, Cincinnati\, OH \nNotes\nThis program has 2 types of tickets available: In-person and online-only. Please pre-register to receive a link to the live-stream event. \nIf you have symptoms of illness (coughing\, fever\, etc.)\, we ask that you either stay home or wear a mask.

SUMMARY:Seventh Annual Lundberg Institute Lecture
DESCRIPTION:“Deconstructing America’s High Priced Healthcare”\nThe seventh annual Lundberg Institute Lecture welcomes Elisabeth Rosenthal\, MD\, author of “An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take it Back.” \nBuy Tickets\nSpeaker\nElisabeth Rosenthal\, MD\, is the author of the 2017 New York Times bestseller\, “An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take it Back.” She was a reporter and senior writer at the New York Times for 22 years\, winning numerous awards for her coverage of health and the environment as well as for foreign coverage in China. Her series\, “Paying Till it Hurts\,” is credited with catalyzing a national conversation on America’s high-priced care. Since 2016\, she has been Editor-in-Chief of Kaiser Health News\, an independent non-profit newsroom based in Washington DC\, focusing on health and health policy. \nModerator\nGeorge Lundberg\, MD\, Professor\, Pathology\, Health Research Policy\, Stanford University; Editor-at-Large\, Medscape; Founder of The Lundberg Institute \nAdmission\nNon-member: $22.09\nMember: $8.00\nStudent: $8.38 \nSummary:\nAn American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take it Back\,” the talk will look at just that. Everyone knows that the U.S. health system is by far the most expensive in the world\, with spending/prices for drugs\, procedures and hospitalizations that are many times those in other developed countries. And for all that\, we don’t generally get better care or better results. I’ll look at the evolution of the U.S. health system over the last 3 decades and how it moved from a caring endeavor to a financially driven system where profit rather than patient good was the prime motivation. I’ll trace how commercial forces and interests were allowed to insinuate themselves into medical practice\, step-by-step\, so no one protested much…or even noticed…until the prices got sky high. We now live in a system where medical machinery comes with brochures on how to recoup return-on-investment and ambulance companies as well as dialysis units are owned by venture capital firms.  But the ultimate message is one of optimism and hope. Once patients-voters-consumers understand how the system functions and how our healthcare has been hijacked for profit\, the book offers many ways to push back\, to begin untangling the mess we’re in. I discuss some of those\, from strategies to protect your wallet when you enter the hospital or doctor’s office to reforms that should be voter issues at the state and national level. I believe that if patients and physicians stand up for medicine we will get better\, cheaper care. The books ends: “Given the false choice between your money or your life\, it’s time to take a stand for the latter.

SUMMARY:Fifth Annual Lundberg Institute Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Patient Safety: Get the Diagnosis Right\nThe fifth annual Lundberg Institute Lecture welcomes three panelists from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science\, Engineering and Medicine. Modern medical science accepts the obvious fact that no one can know absolute medical truth. It is understood that diagnoses act as shortcuts intended to quickly convey a common understanding of what certain symptoms imply about a body’s state of health. But it is also clear that errors in diagnoses can be as lethal as therapeutic errors. Join the discussion with medical experts focusing on how to improve diagnostic clarity and effectiveness. \nSpeakers\nElizabeth McGlynn\, PhD\, Director of Kaiser Permanente’s Center for Effectiveness and Safety Research \nUrmimala Sarkar\, MD\, MPH\, Associate Professor of Medicine in Residence at UCSF \nKathryn McDonald\, M.M.\, Executive Director of the Center for Health Policy and the Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research at Stanford University \nModerator\nGeorge Lundberg\, MD\, Professor\, Pathology\, Health Research Policy\, Stanford University; Editor-at-Large\, Medscape; Founder of The Lundberg Institute \nAdmission\nNon-member: $22.09\nMember: $8.00\nStudent: $8.38

SUMMARY:Second Annual Lundberg Institute Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Announcing The Second Annual Lundberg Institute Lecture: “A Bright Future for Health Care: Is It Possible?” on Tuesday\, December 18\, 2012 at 6:00 PM PST.\nSpeaker: \nDonald Berwick\, MD\, Former President and CEO\, Institute for Healthcare Improvement; Former Administrator\, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. \nSpeaker Details: \nThe second annual Lundberg Institute Lecture welcomes Dr. Berwick\, who studies the management of health care systems with emphasis on using scientific methods and evidence-based medicine and comparative effectiveness research to improve the tradeoff among quality\, safety and costs. In the ongoing difficult transition to the Obama health plan\, Dr. Berwick’s analysis of these issues has been resisted by Republican lawmakers. So has his forthright conclusion that “Any health care funding plan that is just\, equitable\, civilized and humane must\, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional.” Also hear Dr. Berwick’s ideas on whether government rationing of health care is to be feared or embraced. MLF(s)

SUMMARY:Inaugural Lecture of The Lundberg Institute Lectureship
DESCRIPTION:The Inaugural lecture of The Lundberg Institute Lectureship will be given by Elliott S Fisher\, MD\, MPH at the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco at 600 PM on Tuesday\, October 25\, 2011.\nThe topic will be: \nAchieving A Sustainable Health Care System: What Might We Do?\nDr Fisher  received his BA and MD from Harvard and his MPH from U Washington. \nHe is Professor of Medicine and Community and Family Medicine at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. \nHe will speak in detail about Accountable Care Organizations as part of the solution. \nDr. Fisher is a general internist whose research focuses on exploring both the causes and the implications for health and health policy of regional variations in Medicare spending and practice. He has broad expertise in the use of Medicare databases and survey research methods for health care evaluation. His recent two-part series on the implications of regional variations in Medicare spending suggests that about 30% of current U.S. health care spending is devoted to services that provide no apparent health benefits — and may be harmful. His work questions the widely held assumption that in medical care\, more is always better.
