OWNING RISK IS TOUGH, BUT IT’S WHERE THE ACTION’S AT
Once upon a time plans had large group commercial populations with years of consistency and
providers simply delivered services for a fee. But government programs like Medicare
Advantage, Marketplace / Exchange and Medicaid, have populations changing every year, or
even every month and providers managing a population's health over time.
Changing populations and dynamic payment models may make it tough to predict and achieve
member outcomes in a financially sustainable way precisely when providers are getting in the
game to take on risk.
Public health data are providing solid case studies of achieving member health and happiness
with sustainable financial models for all players in this new game.
If you are managing risk, considering taking on risk, or investing in or providing products or
services to anyone bearing risk, camp out in these sessions to learn how to use public data and
internal resources to:
§ Effectively leverage analytic approaches to manage risk
§ Accurately assess risks and project costs
§ Effectively align providers and incentivize care delivery
