The Health & Human Capital Management Series, a division of World Congress, is proud to present the Executive Forum on Value-Based Benefits Design for Employers taking place on May 20, 2008 in Denver, CO. 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"
