Where Wellness Meets the Road: Taking Population Health from Theory to Practice
Start Date

End Date

Description
“Where Wellness Meets the Road: Taking Population Health from Theory to Practice” will discuss how population health and wellness principles are being applied in the workplace to enhance quality and reduce medical costs.
Organizations across all industries are working together to focus on the quality and cost of medical care in the United States. The nationwide mindset is shifting from interventions that can cure disease to prevention, wellness and chronic care management — work that requires tighter coordination across the continuum of care and a more active role for patients and caregivers. Payors are encouraging and supporting innovation in health care delivery systems, helping them adopt new technologies and methodologies to care for patients. Finally, economic necessity is motivating the government and the private sector to bend the health care cost curve, while achieving and sustaining better clinical outcomes.
