Further, not all lack of behavior change can be attributed to depression and anxiety, either together or alone. Rather, financial stress from volatile economic pressures, social stress from family dynamics or substance abuse, and diagnoses of chronic disease can all be stressors that need attention. Often, however, the distress is treated with anti-depressants when depression is not the underlying condition, or the distress is under-treated when depression actually is the condition. Without recognition of the miscues in chronic care management, outcomes for chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, asthma, and more can be more difficult, and much more expensive, to treat.
Recognition of these stressors and the ability to distinguish between them is the subject of this intriguing seminar co-produced with the Center for Health Value Innovation. A new, validated and patented protocol for redirecting patients into depression-management coaching for adherence to interventions, or into other services that can help restore balance and competency to the individual.
Hear from leaders in the Center, Chief Medical Officer Jack Mahoney MD, and President Cyndy Nayer, along with Fred Newman, CEO of Coordinated Health Solutions, provider of the patented Pharmacy Intervention Protocol (PIP). There are real-world outcomes to be shared, and questions that attendees will want to ask about outcomes-based contracting for emerging services such as these.
- Understand the distinction in outcomes when a full coaching project for depression and anxiety is applied.
- Identify opportunities in your population to re-think the protocols for chronic care and escalate the reduction in health and cost risks.
- Identify key markers for outcomes-based contracting in chronic care, depression management, and return-to-work.
- Engage in interactive learning through online question submission, attendee feedback and opportunity for follow up questions, and networking with attendees, faculty and other professionals through a dedicated LinkedIn group

John J. Mahoney, M.D., M.P.H, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder, Center for Health Value Innovation |
John J. “Jack” Mahoney, M.D., is a founder of the Center for
Health Value Innovation and serves as its Chief Medical
Officer. In 2008, Dr. Mahoney was named as a Fellow of the
Center, along with other prominent health benefits
executives and thought leaders who are committed to
advancing value-based health design. He is a co-author of
the first book from the Center, Leveraging Health: improve
health status and bend the trend on financial outcomes with
value-based designs. Dr. Mahoney is a well-respected leader in the value of investing in workforce health, known for his strategic and disruptive thinking and advocacy for change at the person and population level. He is at the forefront of articulating Center policies, advancing the concept that reductions in Rx access are not stand-alone initiatives for driving sustainable cost trend reduction. With his guidance and input, the Center for Health Value Innovation promulgates a leadership position in value-based design, advocating the use of data to drive decisions for investing in modifiable behavior change. Dr. Mahoney is credited with advancing the concept that these activities must be married to condition or disease management and tightly controlled – and that they are tied to a comprehensive communication strategy focused on the goals of the person and aligned with the corporate growth strategy. He advises that goals must be set at the appropriate level and communicated to all the stakeholders – including physicians – in order to generate improved outcomes. Dr. Mahoney is co-author of three books that analyze the value-based insurance initiative: Leveraging Health; Total Value Total Return: Seven Rules for Optimizing Employee-Health Benefits for a Healthier and More Productive Workforce (2006) and BeneFIT Design: Seven Steps to Value-Based Health Benefit Decisions (2007). These challenge traditional health care benefit plans and strategies, and contribute to the health care industry’s discourse on providing evidence-based benefits and interventions in managing the health of employees. Currently, Dr. Mahoney serves as a consultant to Pitney Bowes, where he was formerly the company’s Global Health Strategy Director, Chief Medical Officer and a key team leader for its innovative health care programs. His responsibilities included advanced health care planning for employees and benefits planning for employees and retirees. Subsequent to retiring from his full-time position, Dr. Mahoney has assumed the role of Chief Consultant for Strategic Health Initiatives at Pitney Bowes and continues to be active in shaping the company‘s health care programs. In addition, he is the Medical Director of the Florida Healthcare Coalition. Dr. Mahoney formally joined Pitney Bowes in 1997 as Corporate Medical Director and Global Healthcare Management Director after serving as the company’s chief health consultant for several years. During the mid-1990’s he developed the integrated health platform for EAP, behavioral health and clinical health that showed the total improvement when access and affordability were improved. He was instrumental in revamping the company‘s health insurance system and is the architect of the value-based design launched in 2002. At this time, Pitney Bowes became the first company in the country to fully implement the strategy known as value-based insurance design, in which the employer uses financial incentives to encourage workers to stay healthy. Dr. Mahoney received his undergraduate degree from Boston College and his Medical Degree from the Medical College of Virginia. He also received a Masters Degree in Public Health from UCLA. |
