In his speeches to public and private audiences drawn from across the health care, medical, corporate, policy and patient communities, J.D. Kleinke examines the concurrent effects of government reform, increasing patient economic empowerment, and emerging patient information technologies on today’s health care organization.
Over the past two decades, the focus of medical decision making – via the rise and fall of “managed care” - has shifted from physician to health plan to patient. Tiered co-payments for hospitals stays, physician visits, and drugs represent only a crude first step in the final phase of this historic shift. The slow, steady rise of high-deductible health insurance, coupled with the mushrooming of health care cash accounts and credit products, are ushering in the inevitable decline and disappearance of traditional health coverage, swelling the ranks of the “underinsured,” and renewing a critical mass movement within the federal government to reform the entire system with mandated coverage and a public insurance alternative to the failing health insurance marketplace.. What will the reform plan look like? What will be its financial, organizational, and legal impact on hospitals? How will it affect patients, especially those currently outside the insurance system? And how will broader market forces toward ever more patient cost-sharing affect patient behavior? How will patients act when they get more and better access to information about hospitals, doctors, and drugs? And how will they act when they finally get electronic access to their own medical records? Everything we think we know about how consumers behave when managing their own care with their own money is completely speculative. And that is before factoring in the wave of new medical information, data access and patient communities coming online now as part of eHealth 2.0. . Combined with lessons from the emerging field of consumer behavioral economics, and observations from the cutting edge of the patient-centric health information revolution, J.D.'s speeches provide strategies and practical steps for health care organizations, companies, no-profits, and patient groups, at this unique moment in what may prove to be a turning point in the history of the US health care system.

General Session: "Certain Actions for Uncertain Times" Presented By: Gartner Analyst Team |
|
|||
|
When the economy will turn around, the liquidity in the capital markets and even the effect of Obama’s Economic Stimulus, is still a matter of speculation. While the current environment may be filled with uncertainties, CIOs are continually challenged to make definitive actions that cut spending on IT where possible and align IT around initiatives that run, grow and transform the business. CxOs and external influencers now expect IT to be a key differentiator to effectively enable care and business strategies. This conference explores the challenges and actions that IT can take in the new uncertain environment.

Track A Insurer Presentation
Title: Will Health Insurers Find Something Special in a Medical Home? Gartner Analyst: Bob Booz, Managing VP The concept of a Medical Home is emerging as a top health policy consideration. It is the US equivalent of an increasingly global Patient Centered Care Coordination focus. It is not a new concept for health financing policy makers or many health insurance companies. •How is the concept of the medical home tied to past health management initiatives? •What additional IT capabilities must be available for health financing entities to recognize the medical home? •How will health insurers and financing entities administer the medical home movement?

Title: Impact of the Patient Centered Medical Home on CDOs Gartner Analyst: Wes Rishel, VP Distinguished Analyst and Tom Handler, Research Director Healthcare policy makers and some payers are trying to put into practice the well-recognized need to fund the ongoing, physician-based coordination of care delivered across providers, organizations and care settings. They expect this will increase quality and patient satisfaction and reduce costs. CIOs and other healthcare executives must understand the implications of the Medical Home and be prepared to participate in these endeavors. In this presentation, the key issues to be addressed include: •What is the Medical Home? •What are the drivers and barriers to the Medical Home? •What are the IT implications of the Medical Home?

Track A Insurer Presentation
Title: The Integrated Approach To Care Management Gartner Analyst: Joanne Galimi, Research VP The need to improve health outcomes and lower medical and administrative costs are forcing health insurers to develop new care management strategies. Transforming into a care management domain requires cultural and organizational changes, new processes and new technologies. Domain expertise and methodologies for predictive modeling, gaps in care and advanced analytics are required for effective interventions. Technology investments include the development of an information-sharing architecture with advanced analytics, flexible user-configurable rule based workflow and interactive technology to support patient decision aids and self-care management. Key issues include: •What are the technology requirements for integrated disease, utilization and case management workflow applications? •What analytic tools and methodologies can be used to improve financial and clinical outcomes? •What types of health promotion tools and wellness programs can change patient behavior?

Track A Insurer Presentation
Title: Healthcare Insurance BPO Market Ready To Take Off Gartner Analyst: Maureen O’Neil, Principal Research Analyst Although adoption of business process outsourcing by the U.S. healthcare industry has lagged significantly behind other major industries, healthcare insurers have increasingly come to view BPO as a strategic option. Concurrently the market for healthcare insurance BPO has experienced strategic merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, entry of new providers, robust portfolio service offerings, and an evolution of offshore and onshore options. As healthcare insurers look for cost optimization solutions, as well as strategies to grow and transform their businesses, the BPO market in 2009 is poised to offer both. CIOs examining the environment will find more providers, more service models, and more new tools and functions than during the previous five years. This presentation will address: •What healthcare insurance challenges have caused insurers to reassess their use of BPO? •How have new trends in healthcare insurance BPO impacted insurers sourcing strategies? •What does an analysis of the healthcare insurance BPO market reveal?

Title: Meaningful Use and Certification: Are the EHR Incentices Worth the Effort?br> Gartner Analyst: Wes Rishel, VP Distinguished Analyst and Tom Handler, Research Director CDOs, payers, SLGOV agencies and other HCOs are moving from excitement to disillusionment about seeing meaningful use from EHRs. CDOs are struggling to qualify without actually hurting their organizations. Other entities are defining a role in supporting adoption in hospitals and practices and finding a path towards actually using the information captured to improve quality or at least transparency. The presentation will address these key issues: •What is necessary for practices and hospitals to obtain incentive EHR payments? •How does achieving meaningful use position a CDO for likely changes in the healthcare system – or not? •What help is available for achieving meaningful use?

Title: The Potential and Reality of Telemedicine Gartner Analyst: Jonathan Edwards, Research VP Telemedicine – the delivery of medical care at a distance – remains a high-profile topic. Care delivery organizations around the world are interested in the potential of telemedicine to help them use specialist resources more efficiently, better monitor and communicate with patients, and potentially to develop new service offerings. Telemedicine’s undoubted potential is matched by a high level of confusion and vendor hype. This presentation will explore the following topics: •How mature are telemedicine applications? •What steps should care delivery organizations take to exploit the potential of telemedicine applications? •Which organizations have successfully deployed telemedicine applications, and how did they do so?
