  It's been a busy December for
HCEG Members and Sponsors!
So far December has proven to be an information-packed, event-filled month for HCEG members and its sponsor partners - starting with HCEG's Executive Leadership Forum (ELF) on December 5th and quickly followed by HCEG's attendance and presentation at AHIP's Consumer Experience & Digital Health Forum on December 6th through the 8th.

And on Tuesday, December 13th, HCEG sponsor partner HealthSparq will be presenting a webinar on "Using Incentives to Drive Healthcare Shopping Behaviors." HCEG members are encouraged to attend this webinar as it presents important information widely discussed at the recent AHIP events.

Executive Leadership Forum at AHIP's Innovation Lab

In advance of AHIP's Consumer Experience & Digital Health Forum starting December 6th, about 30 HCEG members and sponsor partners met at AHIP's Innovation Lab in Chicago for a members-only HCEG Executive Leadership Forum event where attendees were treated to the following:
Presentation by HCEG Member Dr. David DiLoreto

Dr. DiLoreto shared his perspective on value-based care and some approaches health plans, providers and health systems should consider. Two interesting comments made by Dr. DiLoreto included:

"It seems like there are more people keeping score than playing the game"

"The government is far out front of private industry on value-based reimbursement"

Highlights of Consumerism and Transparency Topics

Stuart Hanson and Tate McDaniel from HCEG sponsor Change Healthcare offered an informal view into the theme of the AHIP forum: consumerism and transparency supported by digital health tools. Spirited discussion occurred throughout Stuart's and Tate's presentation.


Early Look at the Industry Pulse Survey Results

Chris Link of Change Healthcare offered attendees an early look at the results of "The Industry Pulse" survey developed by Change Healthcare in partnership with HCEG. The presentation materials prepared by Chris highlighted how certain challenges - like Privacy & Security - may be settling into a new normal in the healthcare industry. There was also quite a bit of discussion on certain responses to the survey's open-ended questions.

Note: Additional information on HCEG's Executive Leadership Forum and the various presentation materials shared during the forum will be shared with HCEG members only via a separate email later this week. Keep an eye out for that.

Tour of AHIP Innovation Lab 

To keep ELF attendee's going after a very nice, catered lunch, Executive Leadership Forum attendees were provided with a tour of AHIP's Innovation Lab by Rahul Dubay - AHIP Sr VP Innovation & Solutions.  

Rahul shared information on the lab's state-of-the-art digital media studio, its technology enabled resources, secure servers, fiber connectivity, satellite capabilities for video collaboration, and extensive working space. HCEG member organizations that are members of AHIP have free and low-cost access to the lab and its servicing partners. Contact Rahul at 202.778.1143 or [email protected] for more information.

HCEG Attendance & Presentations at
AHIP's CX & Digital Health Forum
