INSTITUTE OVERVIEW

America's health system, while the world's leader in many extraordinary complex medical treatments, is expensive and rife with problems of access, cost effectiveness and quality and patient safety. Many critics find perverse tax policy, coverage and payment incentives at the very heart of the challenges facing medical care in the United States. Across the health system healthcare professionals and executives, innovators, entrepreneurs and health reformers are experimenting with innovations in benefit package design, provider payment methodologies, gainsharing and shared ownership arrangements in an effort to reverse perverse incentives to motivate behavior that will improve the nation's health system and to induce practices that will improve access, cost effectiveness and quality and patient safety.

The purpose of the National Healthcare Incentives Institute is to convene national and international experts on healthcare incentives and to share innovative initiatives and practical case studies in the following:

The Role of Government, Employers, Health Plans and Providers in Healthcare Incentive Innovation
Value-based Benefit Package Design and Consumer Health and Wellness Incentives
Topics on Medicare and Medicaid Payment Reforms
Transparency, Pay for Performance and Incentive Payments
Non-financial Incentives, such as Disclosure and Peer Review
The Evolution of Global and Bundled Payments and Capitation as Incentive Provider Payment Mechanisms
The Emergence of new Incentive Payment Structures, including Medical Home
Equity, Gainsharing and Contractual Arrangements
Practical Approaches to Leading Change, including Strategies for Working with Physicians
Legal Issues in Incentive Payment Initiatives: Antitrust, Fraud and Abuse, Stark, Pension and Benefits Rules
Measuring the ROI of New Incentive Arrangements
The Role of Incentive Transformation in State and National Health Reform

Attendees will learn through over 50 sessions, including preconference symposia, plenary sessions, concurrent sessions and workshops, featuring a faculty of over 100 experts in the field.
