It’s that important time of the year. Yes, I am talking about the AHIP Institute 2015 conference from June 3-5, 2015 in Nashville, Tennessee. Attended by over 4,000 health care professionals around the world, it is the No.1 Health Plan event.
There are plenty of things to do at the event and at the music city. Here is our pick of three things from Optum to add to your to do list.
Future Strategies for Integrated Care Management
Wednesday, June 3rd/Wellness Pre-Forum
The conversation continues to focus on the challenge of escalating medical spend while patient demand continues to increase and resources are limited to deliver the spectrum of care required to manage the whole patient. This forces a new collaboration across payers, providers and consumers, with significant financial incentives to reduce costs and improve clinical and quality outcomes.
This session will discuss new consumer-centric approaches to integrated care management models that leverage analytics to provide better health outcomes and overall program value.
Presented by Heather Jarrett, RN, BSN, MBA, Vice President, Population Health, and Dr. Bernie Elliott, Senior National Medical Director, Clinical Shared Services, Optum
What if navigating health care was as easy as shopping for gifts online?
Thursday, June 4th, Signature Series Session 5:10 PM to 6:10 PM
With most online shopping experiences, a person can buy a birthday present for their nephew across the country, have it gift wrapped and shipped in two days (at no extra cost)—all from the comfort of their living room, their car, or at the dentist—by clicking one button. Imagine if health care were that seamless, convenient and intuitive. Today, consumers are increasingly involved in the plan and care selection of their health care experience, and they expect that experience to be imilar to other industries – simple, personalized, seamless, and transparent. This interactive session will focus on these areas:
- How and where journey mapping can be applied to a typical health care experience?
- What factors are limiting use of journey mapping in healthcare?
- Learn firsthand the power of how utilizing journey mapping can help identify consumer experience pain points and support segmentation strategies to create a more personalization healthcare experience for consumers across any segment.
Facilitated by Amy Fleckenstein, VP Consumer Engagement, Optum
Thriving in a Regulated Post-Reform Era
Friday, June 5th, Sponsored Breakfast Session, 7:30 AM – 8:15 AM
Presented by: Jim Maher, Vice President of Growth Consulting and John Murtha, Vice President of Growth Consulting, Optum
The one-size-fits-all approach to health care doesn’t work in today’s ever evolving health care landscape. With several ACA provisions already in play, payers are assessing reform implications and making course corrections to act on unprecedented growth opportunities. Attendees will gain insights and strategies needed to succeed in the new world of health care.
There is no other platform to hear from Industry leaders and top speakers like President Bill Clinton, Elizabeth Holmes (CEO Theranos), Omar Ishrak (CEO Medtronic), David Holmberg (CEO Highmark Health), Mitt Romney (Former Governor of Massachusetts) and many more!
