Event Lineup

Session 1: Playing the Long Game: Moving Beyond Cost Cutting
Wednesday, Sept 4, 2024  |  9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. MST

Presented by Craig Deao

Leading healthcare systems must focus on performance improvement (reducing costs) and growth. Typically, the focus on cost-cutting is the common reaction to headwinds . . . 89% of hospitals currently have a cost-reduction plan (but only 6% characterized their programs as effective!) However, growth can have a greater near- and long-term impact on value. Growth can have a compounding effect on value creation and come in a variety of ways: Grow revenue at the same margin (top line); Substitute lower margin for higher margin services (bottom line); Expand volumes in higher margin services (top and bottom line).

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the limitations of cost-cutting as a sole strategy for healthcare performance improvement.
• Identify different growth strategies that can create sustainable value for healthcare systems.

Effective PHM is crucial in the healthcare industry because it can reduce costs, improve quality, and enhance patient outcomes. Additionally, it can help reduce health disparities and achieve equity in health outcomes. In this session, we will discuss the importance of effective population health management in healthcare and its relationship with equity in health outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

· Gain a comprehensive understanding of the PHM framework, including its goals, strategies, and significance in the healthcare industry.
