The role of data in creating progress, change and equality in healthcare

Those of us in the traditional healthcare space have a role to play in shaping the future of healthcare in this country. Those of us who are collecting analyzing the data, have an especially important role to play so that we can all act on that data with intention and create healthy outcomes.

- Only 10 to 20% of what we do in the healthcare space are direct determinants of health.

- Other determinants of health include genetics, risk behaviors, and the social and physical environments a person occupies in their daily life.

- Institutional inequities we've experienced stemming from government policies, our educational system and zip codes were contributing factors in the inequitable events around COVID-19.

There are so many opportunities to shape a brighter future in healthcare if we are intentional about what kinds of data we’re analyzing and how we put that data into action to ensure equitable distribution of healthcare in our country.

Bundled payments: Is the effort worth the reward?

Bundled payments have exploded in popularity over the past several years, with thousands of providers nationwide participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial bundled payment arrangements. These alternative payment arrangements can offer potential rewards to both payers and providers, but they also require substantial investment and they aren’t without their own risks. In this session we will examine the potential opportunities that bundled payments offer both payers and providers, as well as critically examine the costs associated with developing and implementing these types of arrangements. We will use case studies that include commercial payer representatives, provider representatives, and an analytic perspective from Milliman's own experience.
