Overview

As we move toward 2011 after two of the most tumultuous years in California’s history, healthcare executives, policy leaders, advocates and lawmakers all have the same question: what is going to happen next? Among the many questions: How will the Medi-Cal waiver fare? What is going on with seismic compliance? How will the recently enacted budget affect the safety net? What provisions of reform are going to be enacted, and what changes will occur?

There is no such thing as a crystal ball, but some of California’s most connected healthcare experts are the next best thing. In this WebSummit event co-sponsored by Payers & Providers, some of California’s biggest names will make their forecasts and predictions for 2011.
