After months of research with employers, vendors, associations and other benefits executives, the message came across loud and clear.  You need a platform for a face-to-face meeting unlike any other being offered that focuses on the top challenges around the most innovative drivers of Value-Based Purchasing.

With a market saturated with conferences “geared” toward benefits professionals, you’ve asked us to develop a meeting that gets rid of the fluff and elevates and directs the conversation to non-traditional and innovative areas of value-based purchasing, so you can master modern day benefit design.  We did it. We have designed an agenda that directly reflects your business needs, concerns and challenges.

The goal of the 2013 Innovative Drivers of Value Based Purchasing Seminar is to provide a roadmap to evaluate and purchase high value care, manage high risk populations, integrate wellness initiatives, achieve shared employee and vendor accountability, manage data integration and overall health outcomes through new and creative benefit design levers.
