P01 – Opening Plenary Presentation
Peter V. Lee, Executive Director, California Health Benefit Exchange
What do purchasers expect from “the new healthcare”? If anyone could successfully answer that question, it would be Peter Lee. He will provide an overview of the latest developments on the national healthcare reform/healthcare policy scene, and will share with attendees his perspectives on the coming years in healthcare policy and reform.
Mr. Lee is a nationally respected leader in health care who has led innovative projects aimed at promoting health, improving care quality and reducing cost in the health care delivery system. As the recently named Executive Director of the California Health Benefit Exchange, Mr. Lee oversees the planning, development and leadership to chart a course toward a patient-centered, value-based health care system in the first state in the nation to create astatewide health insurance exchange.
P02 – Afternoon Plenary Presentation
Keith Figlioli, SVP, Health Care Informatics, Premier Healthcare Alliance
In the Healthcare Informatics September 2012 cover story: “It Takes a (Big) Village: Laying the Foundations for Population Health”, Mr. Figlioli emphasizes “In the end, the “three pillars” of the new healthcare will be “data, knowledge, and people, all connected seamlessly. And,” he warns, “if the CIO does not have a foot solidly in the strategic planning process of the whole organization, and if the CIO is not in on the very first strategic meetings around ACO developments, I would argue that they’re dead in the water.”
As the senior vice president, healthcare informatics at the Charlotte-based Premier health alliance, Keith Figlioli sees the very big picture on all this, as he and his colleagues at Premier continue to develop tools and collaborations to help their thousands of hospital and medical group organizational members move forward to develop accountable care organizations, bundled payments, and patient-centered medical homes, and to succeed in the new world of value-based purchasing and meaningful use.
P03 – Closing Plenary Presentation
Brent James, M.D., Executive Director, Institute for Health Care Delivery Research; Vice President, Medical Research and Continuing Medical Education, Intermountain Healthcare
During this presentation, Brent James will discuss what his prescriptions are for the next decade in the journey towards the new healthcare.
The announcement in July 2012 that the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services had awarded a $9.7 million contract to the Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Healthcare, as part of its Health Care Innovation Awards initiative, came as no surprise to those in the know; after all, clinician and administrative executives at Intermountain had spent decades using data to support care delivery improvement. And one of Intermountain’s nationally recognized leaders, Brent James, M.D., has spent more than 20 years championing the standardization of clinical care through data collection and analysis on a wide variety of treatment protocols and complex care processes. Dr. James has long been a truly national pioneer in helping to lead the healthcare industry forward to embrace data-driven healthcare process improvement and change.
