How are you reacting to the changes in Medicare and Medicare Advantage? Do you have a strategic plan in place that will lead to continued success for your health plan, health systems, or hospital?
The 2012 National Forum on the Business of Medicare Advantage will provide you with the tools to:
- React to and adapt amidst new CMS Innovation Initiatives and Super Committee decisions
- Navigate through cost control, governance, care coordination, population management, innovations in technology, and quality measures, when transitioning or integrating models from Accountable Care Organizations
- Develop and modify the fraud, waste, and abuse programs that your organization may already have in place in the midst of radical changes in the economy
- Create and develop a culture and organizational capacity that achieves the highest star rankings
- Draw from recent surveys and unpublished data to map out the future of Medicare Advantage programs within your organization
- Understand the perspective of possible customers and existing customers, and get their attention to retain them for the short-term and the long-term
- Integrate new compliance processes to maximize quality potentials with medical loss ratios
- Strategically adapt and navigate through a merger or acquisition
- Reduce readmissions through strategic multi-disciplinary team management, IT initiatives, and care coordination and management initiatives
- Examine if your organization is financially positioned for success or failure in today's turbulent economic environment
Over 50 senior level health plan leaders, policy makers, CMS officials, and industry analysts, from around the nation, are engaged in providing Medicare Advantage stakeholders with the information that they need both in the short-term and the long-term. So, over the next couple of weeks, we will highlight some of those top presenters, articles, and research that we have found that our Medicare Advantage stakeholders need to be aware of, as we draw closer and closer to the event.
