Despite the trillions that the United States spends on healthcare, the American people fall short on numerous health measures compared to other high-income countries, including rates of chronic disease, mortality and life expectancy. Healthcare organizations are investing in population health approaches and advanced technology to enhance health outcomes and achieve value-based care. In this panel, leaders from healthcare provider organizations will discuss innovative technologies that support population health programs and how these technologies can be integrated into care delivery to move the needle on value-based care goals. 

Panelists:
- Brandi Clark, Vice President, Digital Care, OSF OnCall

Population Health Tech Strategies to Advance Value-Based Care

As the healthcare industry continues its pursuit of better outcomes and lower costs by way of value-based care models, population health has come to the forefront. But a good population health strategy relies on data that's interoperable, high-quality, and consistent, and those ideals can often feel out-of-reach. In this panel, industry leaders will discuss how data standards can support data governance, as well as how to realistically implement data standards as part of a population health strategy.
Panelists:
- Rachel Harrington, PhD, Vice President, Health Equity, NCQA

Exploring the Challenges and Benefits of Using Data Standards for Population Health

Though the healthcare landscape is becoming increasingly connected via digital health and virtual care technologies, social determinants of health (SDOH) can impede access and adoption of these technologies. SDOH like food and housing insecurity, language barriers, and the digital divide, can keep people from experiencing the benefits of connected care technologies. In this panel, industry leaders will discuss the trenchant nature of SDOH challenges, strategies to tackle SDOH issues, and the multi-institutional support needed to make these efforts a success.

Advancing Medicine Through Cell and Gene Therapy

The rapid advancements in cell and gene therapies have transformed the treatment landscape for various conditions, including cancer, genetic disorders, and autoimmune diseases. However, the reimbursement environment for these groundbreaking therapies presents unique challenges and opportunities. In this session, Monet Stanford, PharmD, Director of Access & Reimbursement Policy at the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, will explore the current realities of the payer environment, focusing on Medicare and Medicaid and the emerging models of value-based pricing and outcomes-based agreements.

Characterizing the Reimbursement Landscape for Cell and Gene Therapies

Collaboration between providers and payers enables the pooling of resources, expertise, and data, fostering coordinated and efficient care for communities. This unified approach, especially in value-based care models, promotes preventive health measures, streamlines processes, and addresses holistic community health needs. Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation President & CEO Steve Miff will share real-world examples and best practices for combining the right people, efficient processes, and advanced technology to address the needs of underserved individuals and populations.

Collaborative Data-Driven Strategies for Healthy Communities

Success in Medicare Advantage can be hard to achieve—and  in today’s hypercompetitive and regulatorily complex MA market, it’s only getting harder. Stakeholders looking to survive—let alone succeed or scale—in MA must understand how to operate leanly while balancing growth and sustainability. We’ll discuss:

• How the Medicare Advantage landscape has changed and what that means for you
• How plans are measuring success in MA and related best practices 
• How to fine-tune risk adjustment and STARS practices

Beyond Survival: Realizing Sustainability in Medicare Advantage

Rising costs, stagnant outcomes, and workforce strain signal a need for change in healthcare. Value-based care promises better provider satisfaction, improved patient outcomes, and cost reduction. However, providers remain hesitant to adopt risk-based, quality-focused models. Join a discussion on building provider support with Humana's AVP of Physician Strategy & Medical Affairs, Alexander Ding, MD, MBA.

Building Provider Support for Value-Based Care

From payers to providers and everyone in between, every healthcare stakeholder contributes to health and wellness. Yet, connecting the dots across the care continuum is a major challenge. Data siloes, lack of interoperability, health literacy and engagement obstacles, and rules and regulations are just some of the issues preventing effective care coordination across provider types. This panel explores the state of care coordination in a more medically complex and consumer-driven environment.
