Health Affairs Sacramento Forum: Delivery System Innovation

The March 2017 edition of Health Affairs examines what we have learned about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to delivery system innovation.  From leading health care systems seeking to improve their own performance; public and private payers increasingly relying upon value-based payment methods; and clinical leaders and patients demanding change, innovation at the point of care is necessary not only for improved efficiency, but also for improved quality, better patient engagement, and a more satisfied clinical workforce.

Please join us on March 22 at a forum at the at the Central Public Library in Sacramento, California, featuring authors from the journal, and a variety of regional perspectives, for a discussion of innovations currently underway: What are we learning, and what measures can policymakers take to understand, evaluate, and spread the word about new approaches to delivering care?

9:00 a.m. – Noon (Pac.)

WHERE:
