Following Gingrich's opening remarks, Dr. Michael Burgess, Congressman from Texas' 26th District, House Energy and Commerce Committee member and long-time healthcare reform advocate, presented his thoughts on creating better health outcomes through engaging patients in their own care.

Panel members focused on ways that their organizations were leading the way towards a transformed health system through greater consumer empowerment, from both employee health and business perspectives. Successes were marked with overall healthcare cost decreases, increases in preventive care participation, increases in employee productivity, and greater provider quality transparency.

A question and answer session followed the panel discussion, with concluding remarks by Gingrich.
