HHS Deputy Secretary Eric Hargan is pursuing high-level dialogue between HHS and the private sector in order to accelerate innovation and investment in healthcare. Over the course of a year, Hargan wants industry experts and agency staff to meet quarterly to discuss emerging opportunities for innovation and investment in the health sector and how the federal government can help serve as a facilitator.

\u201cCollaboration between HHS and private sector investors and innovators is critical to advancing new solutions and evolving healthcare in America,\u201d said Hargan, who contends that the agency has not previously formally engaged with industry this way. \u201cWe believe this will produce new approaches that will improve the health and well-being of the American people. As the healthcare community innovates, HHS must also be innovative in how we engage with that community.\u201d

Specifically, these private-public sector meetings will focus on emerging innovation opportunities and whether public sector policies are supporting or impeding these innovations. The first meeting will be held on December 18.

\u201cThis group will not be recommending or giving any direction on healthcare innovation and investments made by HHS,\u201d emphasizes the agency\u2019s announcement. \u201cThis group will collaborate with HHS in an open discussion over the coming year to compare perspectives, analyze the most promising opportunities, and identify barriers related to innovation and investment in healthcare. As previously announced, HHS will also bring in participants with subject matter expertise to provide additional perspectives during more focused discussions.\u201d

The 15 tech leaders selected to serve as DSIIS core participants include:

\u00b7 Anthony Davis-Co-Founder and President, Linden Partners

\u00b7 Todd Fruchterman-President\/GM, 3M

\u00b7 Bill Geary-Co-Founder and Partner, Flare Capital

\u00b7 Dean Harrison-President and CEO, Northwestern Memorial HealthCare

\u00b7 Barry Uphoff-Founder and Managing Partner, Martis Capital

\u00b7 Robbert Vorhoff-Managing Director and Global Head of Healthcare, General Atlantic

Nominees were \u201cevaluated based on areas of educational focus, executive or other organizational leadership experience, private equity experience, venture capital experience, lending experience within the healthcare sector, and applicable experience, expertise, knowledge and leadership in innovation and investment in the healthcare sector,\u201d according to the agency.
