Dear HCEG Colleagues and Friends:
This week I moderated two sessions at the World Health Care Congress 2021 Virtual: “Build Data Ecosystems to Maximize the Impact of Technology on Patient Care” and “The Perfect Storm: Keeping the Consumer Front & Center.”
In “The Perfect Storm for Consumerism,” HCEG board members Dee Cruz and Angela Perri joined Jon Burow of Independent Health to share their experiences as health plan executives advancing healthcare consumerism – the #1 priority of the 2021 HCEG Top 10+ list.
But this “Perfect Storm” is different, won’t quickly “blow-by,” and continues to impact everyone’s healthcare priorities. Our Focus Area Roundtables are one avenue for healthcare executives to share their experience, expertise, and perspectives. Roundtable discussions are “open mic,” so everyone gets to connect with colleagues around the country to address 21st-century healthcare challenges.
Catch up on summaries of recent HCEG Top 10+ roundtables facilitated by our Focus Area Partners, choose topics of importance to you and your organization, and sign up to join us in upcoming discussions.
And at the very least, I hope you are planning some fun this summer to make up for what you likely missed out on last year. I know I will!

Highlights - Healthcare Policy & ACA Roundtable #2 |
|
|
|
On Tuesday, May 26th, 2021, a dozen senior healthcare executives gathered for the 2nd Focus Area Roundtable on Healthcare Policy & the ACA. In this session moderated by HCEG Executive Director Ferris Taylor and supported by Kevin Deutsch, General Manager & SVP of Health Plan Cloud at Softheon – our Focus Area Partner for Healthcare Policy & ACA – attendees were presented with four questions on which to share their insight, ideas, and questions for each other:
1. What are your healthcare policy expectations regarding Medicare Buy-In, Public Option, Medicaid Expansion, Drug Pricing, etc.?
2. What challenges are you anticipating due to healthcare policy changes?
3. What do you see as the role of technology in addressing healthcare policy changes impacting the ACA?
4. What other areas of healthcare policy do you think will have the greatest impact on transforming healthcare?
