As the healthcare industry responds to the post-Affordable Care Act landscape and the transition to new payment models, medical group leaders are facing the challenge by reengineering care processes, implementing new technology, reexamining what data is available for analysis, and finding new ways to engage patients in their care. Underpinning these challenges is the need to determine and manage the total cost of care to achieve and maintain financial viability.  As care delivery systems strive to develop high-performing health systems, leaders are finding that managing the total cost of care requires new population health strategies that encompass new technology, data analytics, clinical process improvement, aligned compensation programs, and financial strategic planning to navigate the transition from volume to value.

This year’s Institute for Quality Leadership (IQL) Annual Conference will offer a deeper examination of the challenges of managing the total cost of care.  Leaders from innovative groups will present successful routes they have taken to lower costs by improving resource use or shifting to less expensive but equally effective resources.  They will share their strategies for clinical and financial success, and provide tangible tools to aid your group in becoming a high-performing health system.  Reflecting the team-based approach that has guided their efforts, a series of provocative panel discussions will examine best practices in clinical care, provider engagement, shared decision making, and emerging payment models.
