Healthcare organizations create lasting value when they convert data into decisions that improve the experience, access, and outcomes of the people they serve. At the Global Health and Purpose Summit, as part of People and Planet United, presented by FINN Partners in collaboration with HITLAB, The Galien Foundation, and 1BusinessWorld during NYC Health Innovation Week, Meghan Harris, President and COO of Acentra Health, and Ryan Bosch, EVP, Chief Health and Informatics Officer at Acentra Health, join host Sarah Harper, Senior Account Executive at FINN Partners, for a leadership conversation on “Data to Action: Using Community Drivers of Health to Deliver Whole-Person Care.” The session examines how healthcare leaders can use data to understand the full context of a person’s life and design programs that respond to clinical, behavioral, social, geographic, and community realities at the same time.

The conversation reframes whole person care as an operating discipline rather than a program category. Harris explains that long term wellbeing depends on addressing the full range of factors that influence health, including behavioral health, medication needs, family support, socioeconomic status, resource availability, and the ability to navigate care. Bosch expands the frame from the individual to the community, emphasizing that access to healthy food, medical care, clinics, navigation tools, and health literacy can either support or limit a person’s ability to improve health. Together, they make the case for building programs from the beginning around the full person and the full community, rather than using data later to explain why a narrowly designed intervention did not achieve its intended effect.

The session offers a practical leadership model for Medicaid programs, public sector healthcare, commercial partnerships, care management, analytics, and technology driven service delivery. Bosch emphasizes the discipline required to make data reliable, including quality, lineage, fill rates, consistent nomenclature, risk segmentation, and outcome measurement, while Harris shows how analytics, automation, AI, and machine learning can help care teams focus more directly on the person in front of them. The Oregon wildfire example illustrates the model in practice, combining health data, geographic data, environmental exposure, and targeted case management to support people with specific needs. For healthcare leaders, the session points to a higher standard of performance in which data supports better program design, more equitable care, stronger human interactions, and an outcomes practice focused on health, quality, value, and lives improved across populations.

The global economy is entering a more complex regime in which inflation, innovation, demographics, climate transition, and multi-globalization are reshaping how leaders think about growth, risk, policy, and investment. At 1FinanceWorld, Philippe Gijsels, Chief Strategy Officer at BNP Paribas Fortis and co-author of The New World Economy in Five Trends, joins Henning Stein, Partner at 1BusinessWorld, for a leadership conversation on “The New World Economy.” The session examines how structural forces are changing the assumptions that shaped the previous era of globalization, low inflation, abundant liquidity, and conventional portfolio construction.

Across markets, the old playbook is becoming less reliable. Gijsels explains that most of the major forces now shaping the economy are inflationary, while innovation remains the principal counterforce. Demographic shifts are giving some workers more bargaining power, supply chains are becoming shorter and more regionally organized, central banks face harder choices in an environment of higher inflation and large public debt, and investors must think more carefully about the role of real assets, commodities, gold, silver, energy, critical minerals, and mining within resilient portfolios.

The conversation presents the new world economy as an interconnected system rather than a set of separate market themes. Artificial intelligence and hyper-innovation may improve productivity and support corporate earnings, but they also depend on physical infrastructure, energy, semiconductors, data centers, and raw materials. Europe’s opportunity depends on scale, capital, resource independence, and industrial competitiveness, while climate transition becomes both an energy security priority and an investment theme. Leaders prepared for this environment will be those who understand how inflation, scarcity, innovation, policy, labor, commodities, and strategic independence now move together.

Responsible healthcare AI requires more than promising technology. It requires disciplined governance that protects patients, supports clinicians, validates performance, and keeps care outcomes at the center of every deployment. At the Global Health and Purpose Summit, as part of People and Planet United, presented by FINN Partners in collaboration with HITLAB, The Galien Foundation, and 1BusinessWorld during NYC Health Innovation Week, Theodore Zanos, Head, Division of Health AI at Northwell Health, joins Ivan Ruiz, Partner at FINN Partners, for a leadership conversation on “Health AI Governance and the Future of Responsible Care.”

Healthcare AI is already changing how organizations manage documentation, clinical decision support, risk prediction, patient monitoring, and operational workflows. The session explains why these tools cannot be adopted casually. Health systems need to know which AI tools are already in use, prevent unsafe use of consumer chatbots with patient information, validate models on their own patient populations, and design pilots that reveal real risks rather than simply proving that a tool can succeed under ideal conditions.

The conversation presents AI governance as a clinical capability, not only an IT or compliance function. Sustainable progress depends on local validation, workflow design, clinician trust, vendor transparency, security controls, regulatory oversight, continuous monitoring, and the courage to retire tools that do not perform. Health systems prepared for the future will be those that use AI responsibly, thoughtfully, and with patients, clinicians, and care teams in mind, ensuring that innovation strengthens care rather than adding new risk to the system.
