Keynote Address: "The Payer Perspective On A Changing Health Care Market"
Rhonda Robinson-Beale, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, OptumHealth Behavioral Solutions
As the health care system evolves, we are seeing new financing models, increased integration and care coordination, and new technologies change the health care service delivery system. And this means that expectations of service provider organizations are changing as well; but how do you know what services to develop, what technologies to invest in, and what practices to adopt within your organization amidst all of this change? The answer to those questions is another question – what are payers looking for? During this informative session, you will get to hear the payer perspective on the health care system – and walk away with the ability to strategically position your organization for success, despite the changing market.

Institute Overview
To survive in today’s health care environment, innovation is a necessity. Planning based on historical data and traditional models is no longer enough. Organizations need to employ game-changing, innovative thinking to be successful in the future.
In the years ahead, the difference between organizations that gain a competitive advantage and those that fall behind will be decided by three factors:
- How you strategically position your organization
- How you market your organization to consumers and payers alike
- How you harness new innovations within your organization
During this one-of-a-kind executive institute, we will explore these three key areas and ensure that you walk away with the ability to position your organization for success going forward.
