Session 5

The Attack on Health Systems

Your health system is now under unending attack. Your very value is being questioned – by media, by payors, by regulators and political leaders, and even by the public. We’ll talk about this false narrative, how it emerged, how it detracts from the tangible value your organization provides to your community, and how it impacts payor relations and negotiations.

Session 6

If Your Health System if Considering Payor Litigation, Be Prepared to Win (panel)

What are our legal eagles seeing and litigating at the intersection between payor and provider interactions? What’s emerging, what’s new, and what strategies are health systems employing that is finding success?

Session 7

Value Based Contracts: is it possible to win via VBC?

Few healthcare industry issues are more relevant and divisive than whether value-based care (VBC) is a sustainable reimbursement strategy that truly rewards providers for high quality of care and provides patients with better outcomes. In this session, we will debate the merits of VBC, discuss the challenges and predict where the industry will head moving forward.

Session 8

Wielding influence and winning negotiations in an impossible cultural climate

Everybody hates everything. TikTok culture has made attention spans virtually zero. But one wrong move, and your customers will revolt against your brand. How do you negotiate effectively and wield public influence in this impossible climate?

Session 9

Who blinks first? (panel) Negotiations can be distilled down into a standoff.

Knowing how to appropriately posture and gain leverage and when to mobilize is critical to a successful negotiation. Hear how organizations describe success in contract negotiations and how they prepare.

Session 10

Preparing for the (sometimes) inevitable.

Out of network is never ideal, but sometimes it’s a critical juncture and strategy to pull through an eventual successful negotiation. In this session, we will discuss how to prepare and gain confidence through an out of network period and which tools are necessary to gain traction and prevent leakage.

Session 11

Be Prepared: What can healthcare leaders learn from scouts?

Healthcare is a wildly reactive industry and, by empowering provider organizations to be proactive in contract negotiations, we can determine our value, bargaining position, leverage, and overall strategy to achieve an unstoppable managed care function.
