COTH General Session
Health Care Reform: Ready or not, here it comes…..
This year has been a roller coaster as health care reform has been
discussed and debated. The battles over insurance and payment reform,
however, have not addressed the fundamental need for delivery system
reform. Regardless of the political debate, there is still much
that we can do as Academic Medical Centers to begin to lead the
way.
A Year in Review: Variations Revisited
This session will show how Academic Medical Centers have been taken
to task for their high cost care environments. We will discuss the
various factors that contribute to variations and will review the
work of 11 AMCs who are trying to "move the needle" on
reducing variations in the cost of care.
Speaker:
Steve Lipstein
President, BJC HealthCare
Preparing for Reform: Bending the Cost Curve
We want to stimulate a robust discussion about issues associated
with controlling the costs and maintaining the quality of care in
patient populations that we manage. The speakers are examples of
COTH members who have had success in managing health costs and have
introduced innovative benefit designs to either keep their patients
healthier and/or deliver care in more efficient settings. They will
discuss the successes and "lessons learned" from these
initiatives.
