Payer/provider interoperability, health insurance exchanges among
top 10 issues on The Managed Care Executive Group’s radar for 2012.
Although the focus of discussion among health plan thought leaders who convened in Florida last month at The Managed Care Executive Group
(MCEG) ran the gamut from care management to meaningful use, to medical
informatics, payment reforms, HSAs and more, technology’s role in the
industry’s success was evident.
Led by industry experts, the 23rd Annual Forum focused heavily on
considerations—such as whether this is "the end of healthcare as we know
it,” a conversation that has been floating around recently.
Other discussions centered around "innovation and technological
change,” "making the leap from volume to value,” "Federal plans,
programs and challenges” and "how the social organization might tap the
collective genius of health plan communities.”
