About:
The Yale Healthcare Conference is a joint effort between the Yale School of Management and the Health Professional Schools at Yale University that brings together professionals, academics, and students to engage in an instructive conversation concerning current healthcare issues. This will be the 6th consecutive year and we expect the conference to continue growing to over 450 participants.
The U.S. health care system is currently experiencing the most far-reaching transformation in the last 40 years. Restructuring of the health care system will have significant implications for how health care is delivered, financed and regulated. The planned title and theme for the Healthcare 2010 Conference is "Re-forming Healthcare: Excelling in a Transforming System." The conference aims to illuminate changes key stakeholders will face and expand on how excellence can be fostered in this changing system. Specifically, the conference will examine:
- What are downstream effects of policy aimed at health insurance and health care reform?
- What are the public and private solutions to bending the cost curve?
- How are incentives currently aligned and what are the tradeoffs for realigning them?
- What are the short-term and long-term implications for access to care?
- How do we measure and continue to improve quality in the system?
