"The Executive Midwest Forum on Value-Based Benefits Design was as good as advertised. Rarely do I attend an event that follows the agenda as well as this forum. I received valuable insight from employers who have implemented various aspects of VBBD as well as consultative expertise, practical handouts, and useful presentation materials. This information will be helpful as we mature our benefit designs."
—Bill Evans, Director, Employee Benefit Plans, Jockey International, Inc.
"It was the best conference I went to in 2007, in regard to content, speakers and attendees."
—Charles Hyde, National Account Manager, Employers, sanofi aventis
World Congress is proud to present the Executive MIDWEST Forum on Value-Based Benefits Design for Employers taking place on December 4, 2007 in Chicago, IL. The Forum will showcase employer case studies and best practices on implementing programs designed with a value-based approach to outcomes rather than just on cost. The Forum will feature employer innovators and implementers that have empirically promoted long-term adherence to personal health management with value-based design initiatives. The exclusive Forum will highlight the advantages for employers of shifting to a co-pay redesign, improving population health indicators and corporate financial sustainability.
The Forum will help employers:
Explore how disruptive systems and concepts can lead to innovation
Effectively and strategically invest resources in employee health to coherently manage health risks
Learn to work with suppliers and your "value chain" to achieve the cost savings and overall performance benefits
Maximize behavior change and health/risk improvement
Increase engagement and accountability of your employees
Strategically design the pharmacy benefit to drive medication adherence and compliance
Finally establish an ROI from your health programs by increasing efficiency, reducing operating costs and improving patient outcomes
Create and implement an organizational value-based "dashboard"
