Bowker Biography:
Jeff Goldsmith, Ph.D.

Jeff Goldsmith is one of America's premier healthcare futurists. He owns and operates Health Futures, Inc., a firm specializing in corporate strategic planning and healthcare trend forecasting. He has consulted widely for firms spanning the health system spectrum.

Dr. Goldsmith is an internationally known public speaker and writer. His latest work is the new book Digital Medicine: Implications for Healthcare Leaders. This book provides a provocative view of how our health system will look and feel when we have learned how to harness the power of technology. Dr. Goldsmith explains how technologies will solve many of our most pressing healthcare concerns and will reshape how hospitals, physicians, consumers, and health plans interact with one another. He explores how the imminent technological advances will affect every aspect of healthcare, from diagnosis and payment to communication with physicians and quality of care. He contends that the American health system is on the brink of a fundamental transformation made possible by information technology. When the digital transformation is complete, vital information about our health and our specific treatment options will be freed from books, paper medical records, and physician memories and moved to the point of care, literally at the speed of light.

Dr. Goldsmith is also associate professor of medical education in the College of Medicine at the University of Virginia. He has taught health policy and management at other leading institutions including the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
