Over the course of the past year, Chilmark Research has spoken with well over a hundred organizations (providers, payers, vendors and investors) to understand the current state of the market as it prepares itself for far deeper partnerships between providers and payers. Try as we might, Chilmark Research has yet to uncover any comprehensive Convergence platform. Clearly, there is an enormous opportunity.
This panel features Laurie McGraw of the AMA, Rahul Dubey from AHIP, and Jessica Zeaske from GE Ventures. Representing two of the largest lobbying groups for Convergence stakeholders, and the investment arm of one of the nation’s largest healthcare companies, these guests will highlight what they see as the most pressing opportunities for early-, mid-, and late-stage innovation.

Gary Loveman, President of Consumer Health and Services at Aetna, leads the company’s population health management and consumer engagement strategies. This work includes network and clinical services, care management, digital consumer health products, marketing, analytics and data science. Dr. Loveman and his team are focused on improving the health of its members by preventing individuals from being unnecessarily ill and experiencing healthcare costs that are unnecessarily high. He will deliver a thought provoking perspective on convergence by discussing Aetna’s collaborative strategy with health systems and how Aetna intends to more deeply support these partners. This model shifts the traditional paradigm between payers and providers by realigning incentives so that both parties share equally in the risk and reward of delivering quality care at a lower cost.

Data sharing is an unnatural act in too many parts of the healthcare system. Providers and payers need each other’s data to improve systemic insights and actionability at the point of care. How this can be done and who controls access and use are unsettled questions. Existing applications weren’t designed for fluid data sharing. New approaches to application development and data integration are driving both insights and actionability outside healthcare. This session explores how new approaches to applications development and longstanding HIT technologies can begin to harness the advantages of modern distributed applications. See full agenda >

The migration from fee-for-service to fee-for-value payment models is putting tremendous strain on provider organizations of all sizes. Guidelines that do not add value, lack of interoperability across providers and across provider-payer systems, ever cumbersome reporting are all taking their toll, providing questionable value to the communities served.
From the perspective of one of the leading U.S. healthcare organizations, Dr. Bulger will provide Geisinger’s perspective on the need for convergence and how Geisinger is enabling a strategy to support closer alignment with payers to better serve their community of patients and physicians.
