Purchasers can longer afford to accept the fact that health care costs will rise every year. If employers want to continue to offer benefits for the foreseeable future, now more than ever, health and benefit leaders must take proactive, aggressive action to change employer and employee purchasing strategies, advance healthy outcomes, and achieve a data-drive ROI – or risk your CFO saying, “we can longer afford this.” There is no reason to “accept” rising costs. Superior care and better health at lower costs is not out of reach.

World Congress is pleased to present the Leadership Summit on Intersection of Home Care Monitoring and Consumer Engagement. Challenges such as geographic location, mobility, and time constraints often keep populations, specifically high risk populations that are homebound or live in rural areas, from accessing quality health care. New technologies such as telehealth and online care work to remove these barriers and provide patients with timely, quality, cost effective care. These technologies have proven to engage consumers by giving them greater control of their health care experience in a user friendly convenient format. This unique forum will provide strategies for senior executives from hospitals, health systems, and health plans to leverage online care and telehealth in order to improve quality of care and access to care, while also bending the cost curve.
