About 5,000 people are expected to attend NatCon17 in Seattle, April 3-5, at the Washington State Convention Center. This year’s theme is “The Intersection of Innovation and Action.”
Among the speakers and sessions planned:
Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin
MacArthur “genius” and acclaimed actress Anna Deavere Smith
Neuroscientist and technology guru Tom Insel
Health economist Uwe Reinhardt
Patrick and Amy Kennedy
A Medicaid Bootcamp about waivers, value-based payment and contracting out services
A showcase of technologies that transform how care is delivered.
The Surgeon General made it clear — addiction is a public health crisis. NatCon17 explores how we will implement the report’s recommendations.
Integrated care services, what’s next for population health, first episode services, assessment and management of risk and measurement-based care.
NatCon17 celebrates the success of Mental Health First Aid and faces our struggles with mergers and hospital acquisitions that haven’t turned out as expected, neglected families and service disparities. We take on system “reform” that weakens the safety-net that thousands and thousands depend upon.
