*Craig Fuller enjoys working with his clients in advance to make sure he understands their expectations and desires.  He favors audience interaction and can cover a wide range of topics.

Trends in Healthcare

What Works in Healthcare

Discusses some of the promising developments in healthcare that payors and healthcare professionals should know about.  It’s far better to focus on what’s working than to simply and forever debate about what is wrong!

Healthcare Technology

As a founder and former co-chairman of SureScripts, the leading e-prescribing gateway built by retail pharmacy, Craig discusses trends in healthcare technology and how technology can and is changing healthcare today.

Threats and Opportunities

As an audience participation/interaction method, Craig has members of the audience think about and discuss what they view as either “threats” or “opportunities” to their industry.  This always sparks a lively town-hall-like session that brings the audience into the discussion.

In every session, Craig strives to make sure that the group leaves thinking differently about our healthcare system and the importance of the changes that need to take place.  Craig also seeks to encourage the audience members’ input and wisdom on the issues that are being debated.

While he does not make the discussions partisan, Craig does have a point of view in all of this… Craig does not believe that turning our healthcare system over to the government will work.  However, he does believe that if we don’t make the changes that are needed and invest in improving patient outcomes, there will be cries for more and more government control.  Craig Fuller’s bottom line is that we all have a big stake in this debate!
