With the onset of payment reforms, drug pricing and a new presidential administration, there is an increasing need for better alignment between hospitals, payers and life science organizations to facilitate better care, improve health outcomes and lower costs for patients. While many industry professionals can agree that these partnerships are mutually beneficial, the structure and creation of one is foreign, difficult and may seem precarious to many. Establishing trust, organizational discipline, and shared metrics of successes and failures is difficult to accomplish in payer partnerships.
At the Payer Partnership Forum, key industry leaders from payers, providers and other life science organizations convene to discuss the creation and execution of successful and worthwhile partnerships. This event will help professionals eager to engage in payer partnerships build trust and goals in pharma-payer partnerships and provider-payer partnerships alike. Attendees will walk away from the Payer Partnership Forum armed with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate emerging health system affordability challenges; balance value, access and affordability; and encourage medical innovation while still achieving greater cost-efficiency through payer partnerships.
