Benefits of attending

Change is reshaping the health care experience. What’s next? New delivery models, technologies, partnerships, financing. What’s now? More reform, some uncertainty… and many opportunities to get full value for your benefit dollar. 

Take away insights and tools as we explore: 

  • Value-based delivery models — ACOs, PCMHs, centers of excellence, and the many variations in between
  • The new care experience — physician extenders, onsite clinics, kiosks, retail clinics, virtual visits
  • The changing world of provider and vendor contracting — narrow networks, bundled payments, shared risk/shared savings, value-based metrics and guarantees
  • The new consumer experience — efficiency, transparency, accountability and fun
  • Public and private insurance exchanges for actives and retirees
  • Up-to-the-minute regulatory, legislative and political developments
  • The pivotal role of account-based health plans — from health promotion and consumerism to retirement readiness and workforce planning
  • Next generation measurement strategies — new value-based approaches to cost/ROI analytics, reporting and linkages to business outcomes
  • Global health and well-being strategies — adapting and applying country-specific experiences across borders to create measurable business value
  • …and more, all from innovation leaders and your peers

Who should attend

Corporate executives from human resources, benefits, health care, wellness, communication, human resource administration, total rewards, talent management, organizational development and finance
