Healthcare Executive Roundtable: Improving Care via Innovation in Incentive Payments
Tuesday, April 2, 2019 | 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET
Edelman | 250 Hudson Street | New York, NY 10013
About the roundtable
This executive roundtable brings together healthcare executives, key opinion leaders, and patient groups from the provider, payer, technology, pharmaceutical, and other sectors for an intimate and collaborative discussion of how innovation in payment incentives can positively impact patient care. Reimbursement reform is a central component of the US healthcare system’s widely discussed shift from volume to value. These payment and reimbursement innovations are driven by both public and private payers. For example, the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) programs are part of an evolving Medicaid delivery system reform initiative. DSRIP programs provide states with funding that can be used to support healthcare providers - including hospitals, ACOs and Community Partners - to improve how they provide care to Medicaid beneficiaries. The exclusive, limited-attendance roundtable is designed to provide the top thought-leaders with the latest insights to discuss the implementation process, challenges, and opportunities of initiatives such as New York’s Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) Program.
Why Attend?

UNDERSTAND what is being measured to track success, including ROI? What has been difficult to baseline or track?
DISCUSS how has payment/reimbursement incentives enabled connectivity amongst the ecosystem, especially with providers of social services?
FOCUS on what facets of payment remove should be accelerated, and which are trending toward little to no value?
ACQUIRE knowledge on how has local competition impacted the goals of programs like DSRIP?
DISCUSS if payment reform has had a positive impact on patient engagement or satisfaction?
SHARE knowledge on how New York’s implementation of DSRIP can be used as an example to roll out DSRIP and similar payment reforms in other states? What were the challenges and benefits, and how can we learn from them for future implementation?
UNDERSTAND what the next generation of payment incentives and reimbursement innovations should look like?
