Partnerships Changing Care Delivery

Join us for a unique one-day opportunity March 5 at AHIP's second Summit on Shared Accountability in Washington, D.C., as we showcase innovative models that regional and national health plans have implemented to achieve the three-part aim outlined in the National Quality Strategy – better care, healthy people/healthy communities, and affordable care.

Numerous health plans, in partnership with physicians, hospitals, and employers, have implemented alternative care delivery and payment models that promote accountability and help improve not only the quality and efficacy of care, but also patient experiences. Early success in these models are helping to change physician and hospital practices to become more patient-centered and focus on quality across the care continuum rather than single encounters of care.

It will be a full day, packed with thoughtful discussion offering national and local strategies that are changing care delivery models. You will hear directly from practicing providers on how these new contracts are making a difference in their practices.

Confirmed Speakers Include:

  • Patrick Courneya, MD, Health Plan Medical Director, HealthPartners, Inc.
  • Lois Elia, Vice President, Advocate Health Care
  • Marcia Guida James, MS, MBA, CPC, Director, Provider Engagement, Humana
