Purchaser Perspectives – Prospects for Reining in Health Care Inflation – Ritz-Carlton, Salons 1-6
Amid extraordinary efforts to break the inflation fever in the broader economy, health care faces renewed inflationary pressures, and affordability has reemerged as the public’s top health care concern. With providers seeing step-function increases in staffing costs, and a wave of promising but high-priced biologics and other therapies on the horizon, what are the prospects for payers and purchasers to meaningfully bend the cost curve? What lessons should we draw from such initiatives to date, and what are the biggest structural impediments that remain?

Accelerating Care Redesign – Confronting the Cost and Sustainability of Care Delivery – Ritz-Carlton, Salons 1-6
The affordability mandate extends from purchasers to the providers of care. Provider organizations are facing intense, immediate inflationary pressures. Demographic trends will place future strains through volume and case mix shifts, as well as structural staffing shortages. How are leading provider organizations navigating immediate financial pressures while also building a more resilient and accessible model for the future? To what extent can we harness technology and true care model redesign to drive dramatic improvements in efficiency? And where are the most promising opportunities for innovative partnerships to unlock scale?

Improving Primary Care Outcomes by Leveraging Actually Useful Data – Ritz-Carlton, Pavilions 4 & 5
Hosted by Google Health
Despite ongoing improvements in data interoperability, care teams still struggle to have a holistic view of a patient and coordinate care due to fragmented data, or conversely, data overload. With advances in AI and machine learning, opportunities and use cases that leverage data harmonization, natural language processing, predictions, and generative models can help extract and summarize relevant information, close information gaps, and drive preventative care interventions. However, it is imperative to apply these innovations with a lens of clinical quality, patient safety, and health equity. Join leading care delivery and health technology experts to explore collaborative strategies to truly unlock the potential of AI to improve primary care outcomes.

Breaking Down Barriers: How Providers & Life Sciences Can Collaborate to Accelerate Patient Identification – Ritz-Carlton, Pacific Promenade 2
Hosted by ixlayer
Advances in medical treatments are accelerating at a pace far exceeding historical progress. New technologies that can address the specifics of individual biology down to person-specific genetics are being commercialized by dozens of companies. We are already seeing effective cures being enabled through DNA editing for previously only treatable diseases and promising trials are already underway to effectively cure several diseases. Many of these incredibly promising technologies need to be pursued on a person-by-person basis in a resource-intensive and costly process.

Creating Real Change in Total Cost-of-Care Requires Real Change in Specialty Care – Ritz-Carlton, Pavilions 1 & 2
Hosted by Enlace Health
Primary care providers and specialists are struggling with data visibility issues that subsequently hinder better care management, higher quality, and cost containment. If we cannot see the complete picture of an episode, we cannot truly affect change. Solving total cost-of-care challenges requires significant attention on specialty care and an innovative approach with payers and providers. We must improve coordination between primary and specialty care providers, reduce inefficient testing, create best-in-class procedures, and implement alternative payment models that effectively engage specialists. It’s time to address the roadblocks and take a different path – a path that starts at the core and addresses integration, alignment, and the true motivation needed to make a difference.

The Role of Technology & Collaboration in Equitable Care Delivery Redesign – Ritz-Carlton, Pavilions 4 & 5
Hosted by Salesforce
Effective care delivery redesign can create major upsides for patients, providers and payers. An influx of investment from new players and technological advancement brings the opportunity for innovation and meaningful transformation to the forefront. However, technology also has the potential to widen the gap in accessibility to quality care, exacerbate implicit biases, and lead to worse outcomes for vulnerable populations. It’s imperative that care delivery redesign thoughtfully leverages the power of big data, AI/ML and automation to reduce health inequity.
