Payers, health systems, and investors will need to make strategic choices to determine where to play and how to win over the next decade.

Reuters Events™: Increase Women’s Access to Gender Specific Care and Preventative Care
2023-08-17 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual Event
Poor access, increasing levels of maternal morbidity, and mortality as well as limited ob-gyn care team numbers. Is this the reality for American women?
With resources having been directed away from women’s health over the past 3 years due to the global health emergency, gender–specific care access among the female population in North America has drastically worsened every year, causing a concerning spike in negative patient outcomes.
This Reuters Events webinar looks at how health organizations can leverage digital tools to increase interaction between women and their care teams, as well as maximize the potential remote monitoring initiatives have, in battling the “OB deserts” crisis.
In this webinar, a group of experts in the women’s health space will share the blueprint on how to:

Increase women’s engagement with their own health by providing higher levels of interaction with their care team via a central platform.
Reduce negative patient outcomes as a result of “OB deserts” and build in-house remote care programs of which cater to women in high-risk situations, particularly pregnancies, as well as low risk ones.
Successfully scale out and operate women’s remote care programs across large catchment areas in such a way, that maternal morbidity and mortality decreases regardless of the lack of OB providers.

Hospital @ Home Leadership Summit
2023-06-05 - 2023-06-06 | Boston, MA
While health care challenges in the first wave of COVID-19 sparked interest, the value proposition of in-home hospitalization alternatives is fueling the model’s momentum as we move out of the public health emergency. Although, early in the pandemic, large academic medical centers and health systems adopted the shift through the government’s Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver, payers are increasingly leaning into strategies that include high-acuity health care in the home. However, to create sustainable reimbursement mechanisms, we first need a better definition of the value provided by this model of care. Permanente physician leader Vivian Reyes, MD, join the panel, “The Payer’s Perspective: A Broader Definition of Value,” which will explore the considerations from the perspective of a payer including how to clinical comfortability (quality and safety), member experience of care, and figuring out mundane logistics like billing procedures. Join this panel on June 6, at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Learning objectives

Discussing the key metrics to better understand bottom line value
Exploring the payer’s perspective on the value of high-acuity healthcare in the home, including quality and safety; measuring medical cost savings; and the value beyond direct medical cost savings
