This conference year the major new topic at every conference will be the “health reform”* issue of the Administration. Health reform is likely to be a continuing topic, not an issue that Washington will deal with and forget.
- Coverage of the uninsured
- Likelihood of a public insurance plan
- “Reform” of Medicare and Medicaid
- The economic picture and state finances effect on Medicaid
- How “health care reform” will be financed
- Changes in the delivery of care – payment “reform”
- Value-based care – its future
- End of the fee-for-service payment system
*Health reform is in quotes because much of what will happen is not “reform.”
At every Estes Park Institute, we cover the most important topics in the industry — a blend of the fundamental principles every health care leader must know and the emerging issues that have just appeared on the health care scene. While the form and schedule of our conference program remains the same for each conference, the content and discussion is continually changing.
