Medicare’s Pivot to Value: Will You Make the Shift?

Medicare has ramped up its push to quality and value with its

final MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act)

rule taking effect in January. Almost no area of healthcare has

been left untouched by reform, and providers will be challenged

on every front to deliver high-quality care at maximum value.

Although already accustomed to the accelerated pace of change,

hospitals and caregivers must make further adaptations. This

conference will take a deep dive from a leadership perspective on

the strategic areas of focus where hospitals, providers, and care-

givers can maximize value, quality, and patient safety/satisfaction

in an environment of government, pay experimentation and

innovation. We’ll hear from experts, stakeholders, and even

critics to provide a comprehensive discussion from every angle.
