He worked for many years at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where he was Director, Division of Health Systems Research, and led research on risk adjustment for capitation, cancer care costs and outcomes and end of life costs. He was a member of the health reform task forces of the Bush (elder) and Clinton administrations and a consultant on health reform to the governments of Argentina and Chile. |
"The End of Life Care Conference was a real eye opener for me - from the importance of Advanced Directives, to the tremendous benefits of high touch hospice care, the Conference was a great source of current information, as well as a great networking opportunity. I came away with some valuable information, and valuable contacts to help move our business forward in a way that will provide value to caregivers, providers, and most importantly to our patients."
