This session will address Payer perspectives on how technology and innovation will help achieve more affordable and higher quality healthcare.

The U.S. healthcare industry is poised to undergo a significant transformation.

Spending on healthcare has outpaced inflation and economic growth for many years, yet quality still lags on many fronts.

This discussion will explore a few of the key trends that are helping drive the changing landscape including: unsustainable costs; the need for better patient information to support the coordination of care; creation of a consumer marketplace through public and private health insurance exchanges; movement from a fee for service reimbursement model for doctors and hospitals to an incentive based reimbursement model; and the need to more effectively engage a consumer in the management of their health.

The discussion will provide a perspective on how payers are reacting to these trends by leveraging a balance of technology and innovation to drive growth in the emerging consumer marketplace; transform business processes and analytics to support incentive based reimbursement; and leveraging an integrated patient health record, artificial intelligence and other decision-support tools to drive better patient outcomes.

Finally a key to successfully improving quality and reducing cost is having an engaged consumer or caregiver and we will discuss some uses of mobile, social, medical devices and emerging technologies that will simplify and personalize the way in which that will be achieved in alignment with an individual patient’s needs.
