Ahead of the Curve - The Top 10 Emerging Health Care Trends:
Implications for Patients, Providers, Payers and Pharmaceuticals

2 CEUs have been approved by the WAOIC
Be sure to bring your WAOIC number for the sign-in sheet

The United States (US) health care system is in a state of rapid change. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) placed the “Triple Aim” of health care transformation center stage, emphasizing the importance of (1) improving patient satisfaction and quality of care; (2) improved population health; and (3) affordability. Health care stakeholders across the US are increasingly asked to do more with less as the costs of health care escalate alongside growing requirements for improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality.

This presentation will outline the top 10 emerging health care trends expected to have a significant impact on the health care insurance industry and managed care pharmacy organizations in the next five years. This presentation will also provide real-world insights on current and emerging health policy priorities ranging from patients to health care providers to pharmaceutical manufacturers.
