Join us for a lively discussion with industry leaders in the value-based care movement focusing on how they are reacting to the impacts of COVID-19 on the shift from volume to value. Our panelists will discuss what’s “next” in the several months ahead and beyond; including how they are responding to the tremendous clinical, operational, and financial changes caused by the pandemic.

The healthcare industry only makes big significant changes in response to regulation, and we have never had a regulation quite like the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Rule. Its stated purpose is to “unleash innovation” and it does this by giving patients the authority for 3rd parties to have access to their health information. The expectation is this will catalyze the same disruptive forces that have revolutionized retail and banking – and created entirely new categories of companies like Google and Facebook. During this presentation, we will discuss four different perspectives on how organizations can approach the CMS Rule: technical compliance, holistic compliance, business optimization and digital transformation. We will address the merits of each approach and make a case for organizations to accelerate their digital transformation to disrupt themselves before they are disrupted.

Relocalizing Health begins with an outline for the future of health that is predicated on a health care system that is local, open and independent. The contours of this success have already been proven. Now it is time to expand on these achievements. The book provides an explanation of not only how much money spent on health care is wasted (over $1 trillion), but how it has devastated public health and stolen away resilience from families and communities all across the United States making us much more vulnerable to the impacts of Covid-19. The book details how money better spent on education, primary care, and public health that build up communities is what we deserve given the talent and treasure invested in health.
