THE THIRTEENTH POPULATION HEALTH & CARE COORDINATION COLLOQUIUM

With the re-election of President Obama, the path has been cleared for the full implementation of health reform, putting population-based medicine and wellness and prevention at the forefront of health care. Patient-centered care is here to stay!

Access, Affordability and Quality. These 3 key concepts are at the heart of the Affordable Care Act and The Thirteenth Population Health Colloquium. The Colloquium will build on its tradition of providing forward thinking, meaningful continuing education for health care professionals to help prepare them to find solutions to the myriad challenges we face in health care today. These challenges include: finding patient-centered solutions to managing chronic conditions; educating health care leaders about systems approaches to improve health care; teaching patients to make better decisions regarding the health care services they require; making health information personal, accessible and useful while retaining individual privacy; and finding new ways to motivate Americans to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Our focus on health promotion, wellness and prevention strategies as the way to improve the quality of life for citizens is at the heart of population health, and will bolster efforts to prevent illness and help to mitigate or better manage chronic conditions (diabetes, asthma, heart disease, cancer) that do arise.

We are encouraged by the current focus on innovation. Innovation along with new collaborative relationships among the spectrum of stakeholders has the potential to transform the delivery of health care. Employers, payers, purchasers, clinicians and academia are working closely toward the common goal of implementing meaningful changes that will improve the health of the population.

The Colloquium, with its innovative sessions and prominent faculty, will address these issues and showcase the current initiatives, products and programs being implemented around the country and abroad. We are pleased to once again co-locate our event with the Medical Home Summit, to bring together a diverse group of individuals who share the goal - and responsibility - of transforming the health care system.

We hope you will join us for this exciting program!
