Advancing Upstream Approaches: Designing a Home Health System Aligned with What Matters Most
Drawing on more than a decade of research, this keynote tells a story of systems—and how they shape lives in their final chapters. It begins upstream, with the home health workforce: early studies that linked supportive work environments to reduced hospitalizations. It moves through midstream failures in access: revealing who gets referred to home health care, who gets left out, and how those gaps reflect structural inequities in our health system. And it arrives at the downstream outcomes that matter most: new evidence showing that earlier, sustained home care use among people living with dementia is associated with more days at home, greater use of hospice, and a more dignified death.
But this is not just a story of research—it’s a story of responsibility. What happens before a nurse knocks on the door—and what echoes long after they leave—is shaped by decisions made across this room. For the care innovators, informaticians, clinicians, and policy architects at H3IT, the message is clear: you are building the future of home-based care. Every dashboard, pathway, algorithm, and regulation contributes to the hidden infrastructure that determines whether older adults are seen, supported, and surrounded with dignity. This keynote invites you to advance the upstream approaches that will shape downstream outcomes—not just improving what is, but designing a home health system aligned with what matters most to the people we serve.
Brief biosketch:
Olga F. Jarrín Montaner, PhD, RN, FAAN is the Hunterdon Professor of Nursing Research at Rutgers University and an adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. A nationally and internationally recognized home care researcher, her work focuses on improving access to and outcomes of home-based services for older adults, including those living with dementia. Her NIH-funded program of research leverages real-world data to examine the home health care workforce, care delivery, and late-life outcomes to inform person-centered, policy-relevant models of care.

The Next Frontier in Healthcare: Innovation at the Speed of Trust
In a world where breakthroughs in biotech, data science, and AI are rewriting the rules of medicine, one question defines the decade ahead: how do we build innovation that people can trust?
In this keynote, Ethan Clarke explores the intersection of innovation, ethics, and human connection—arguing that the future of healthcare depends not only on technological velocity but also on moral clarity. From precision medicine to neural data analytics, he illustrates how MedNova Labs has transformed scientific potential into patient empowerment by embedding transparency, interoperability, and inclusion into every layer of design.
The session moves beyond product and process to address the deeper challenge: bridging the gap between discovery and delivery. Through vivid examples—from decentralized clinical trials to AI-assisted diagnostics—Clarke reveals how trust accelerates adoption, fuels collaboration, and turns disruption into progress.
This isn’t a story of machines replacing medicine; it’s a vision of technology amplifying humanity. For executives, clinicians, and innovators, the call to action is clear: innovation without trust is noise. But when we earn confidence through openness and empathy, transformation becomes inevitable.
