Looking to the Future of Healthcare
LEADERS IN THE INSURANCE ARENA GATHER TO DISCUSS INNOVATION WHILE REMAINING PRACTICAL AND COMPLIANT
By Rodney D. Reider
I recently had the privilege of hosting the Think Tank at the Rise Association West Summit 2019 conference in San Diego, containing many of the top senior-level insurance executives from around the country. These impressive and inspiring individuals provided unique insights into practical and compliant innovation ideas impacting the future of healthcare.
Think Tank participants shared “What’s Working in Their Organization and the Overall World of Healthcare Innovation,” focusing on how to get the most comprehensive, accurate, and robust insights in taking accountability for the health of their members. In addition, we considered the latest innovation in telehealth, predictive analytics, AI, and machine learning. Furthermore, participants discussed the broader view in overcoming barriers to members’ health including social determinants and the keys to provider and payer collaboration in solving many of these issues together.
The final two hours allowed for a vigorous discussion centered on, “What does the Future of Healthcare Innovation Hold,” as we explored drivers of innovation and examined the role of health plans and providers in innovating the healthcare delivery system.
