White House Chief Data Scientist DJ Patil and others will share insights on the future of a technology-enabled, value-based health care system
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Advisory Board Company announced today that it will convene more than 1,000 hospital and health system executives, health care experts, policymakers, and technology innovators in Washington, D.C. on October 28-29 to discuss how providers will use technology to improve America's care delivery, better manage population health, and finance their mission.
The company's technology summit, Amplify, will feature more than 100 sessions during the two-day event at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.
Key topics that Amplify will explore include:
- Alternative payment models: A roundtable of current and former designers of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) alternative payment models exchanging views on the next phases of these CMS initiatives;
- Patients assuming more financial responsibility for care: New data on how health systems are working with patients to help them understand their increasing financial responsibility for their health care;
- Decreasing care variability: Research and case studies on how health systems are reducing care variation to compete on consistent clinical performance and patient experience;
- Interoperability: Executives from leading electronic health records vendors discussing interoperability, the roles of public- and private-sector efforts in its pursuit, and ideas for creating more powerful coordination; and
- Ensuring patient care remains in network: Executives from a leading health system sharing how they are leveraging technology to deliver better-coordinated care and ensure patients stay within the care network, which is especially important with providers taking on more risk in models such as accountable care organizations.
"Amplify will provide health system executives practical guidance from their peers and strategic insights from policymakers on care transformation in response to ongoing industry disruption," said Lisa Bielamowicz, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Executive Director, Research and Insights at The Advisory Board Company. "Amplify will address providers' role in the new era of competitiveness and regulation, including engaging consumers in the emerging retail marketplace and bending the cost curve in population health management."
