Accountable Care Systems: Evolving Models of Health Care Delivery NEW!

Featuring Harold D. Miller, President and CEO of the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement, and the Executive Director of the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform 

Wednesday, September 15, 2010

Health care reform is more than extending health insurance coverage or restructuring payment for care.  In order to succeed, health care reform proposals need to include changes in the system of health care delivery. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) offer a unique approach for improving quality of care and controlling medical costs through an accountable team of health care professionals.  This new conference will review the components, benefits, and challenges of this emerging model of care.  Join your peers and health care leaders at this one of a kind conference.

Who Should Attend: Physicians, executives, administrators, and all other health care professionals
