Recap From the Road SIIA 2019 – San Francisco

The September Self-Insured Institute of America (SIIA) conference & expo in San Francisco, California was a fantastic event. The agenda was action-packed with valuable insight, interactivity and information. The APH team left the conference encouraged by the level of interest shown for improving health outcomes through unique and innovative concepts and tools.

There was a great selection of educational breakout sessions covering important topics ranging from specialized self-insurance / captive insurance and health care provider consolidation to health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) challenges and navigating vendor services, among many other topics.

APH’s attendees were   Neil Godbey ,  Rick Scheel ,  Denis Cremin ,  Stephen McBride , Cathy White .

RISE West 2019 - San Diego APH exhibited at the 2019 RISE West event in San Diego, California. Two of our sales leaders, Cathy White and Rick Scheel were in attendance and enjoyed the conference.

Pictured to the right is our Cathy White with guest speaker Richard Picciotto, the highest-ranking firefighter to survive the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11. He wrote a book titled “Last Man Down” about his harrowing experience that day. We felt privileged to hear him speak of that experience in person. The central theme of RISE West related to helping government health plans manage risk and risk adjustment efforts. Many plans expressed interest in areas such as care gap closure, enhanced coding and risk modeling.

One presentation was particularly interesting.   David DiGiuseppe , VP of Healthcare Economics from Community Health Plan of Washington presented “Using SDOH – Social Determinants of Health Data in Data Driven Decision Making.” Their key finding was that some SDOH variables are significant in predicting cost, especially for new members with no previous utilization history. They also looked at incorporating the NSS – Neighborhood Stress Score used in Massachusetts and found that this information was not significant in the prediction of high cost members but could be useful in understanding the regional needs of the population. Incorporating SDOH data into predictive models is an exciting new area of opportunity and one the APH team will continue to explore.
