The program features industry leaders offering strategies for enhancing outcomes while managing resources effectively to meet the demands of changing payment models. Emphasis will be placed on approaches for creating an integrated network of care, managing increased risk for the health of populations, engaging physicians, and leveraging information technologies to improve clinical quality and business performance.
