OVERVIEW |
|
America's health system, while the
world's leader in many extraordinary complex medical
treatments, is expensive and rife with problems of
access, cost effectiveness and quality and patient
safety. Many critics find perverse tax policy, coverage
and payment incentives at the very heart of the
challenges facing medical care in the United States.
Across the health system healthcare professionals and
executives, innovators, entrepreneurs and health
reformers are experimenting with innovations in benefit
package design, provider payment methodologies,
giansharing and shared ownership arrangements in an
effort to reverse perverse incentives to motivate
behavior that will improve the nation's health system
and to induce practices that will improve access, cost
effectiveness and quality and patient safety.
The purpose of the National
Healthcare Incentives Institute is to convene national
and international experts on healthcare incentives and
to share innovative initiatives and practical case
studies in the following:
- The Role of Government, Employers, Health Plans
and Providers in Healthcare Incentive Innovation
- Value-based Benefit Package Design and Consumer
Health and Wellness Incentives
- Topics on Medicare and Medicaid Payment Reforms
- Transparency, Pay for Performance and Incentive
Payments
- Non-financial Incentives, such as Disclosure and
Peer Review
- The Evolution of Global and Bundled Payments and
Capitation as Incentive Provider Payment Mechanisms
- The Emergence of new Incentive Payment Structures,
including Medical Home
- Equity, Gainsharing and Contractual Arrangements
- Practical Approaches to Leading Change, including
Strategies for Working with Physicians
- Legal Issues in Incentive Payment Initiatives:
Antitrust, Fraud and Abuse, Stark, Pension and
Benefits Rules
- Measuring the ROI of New Incentive Arrangements
- The Role of Incentive Transformation in State and
National Health Reform
Attendees will learn through over 50
sessions, including preconferece symposia, plenary
sessions, concurrent sessions and workshops, featuring a
faculty of over 100 experts in the field.
