SUMMARY:Private Healthcare Exchanges Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Private Healthcare Exchanges conference July 16-17 in Chicago will focus on how the Affordable Care Act is changing the way insurers sell health insurance. Instead of marketing almost exclusively to employers\, the ACA has forced insurers to focus on enrolling consumers. The conference is sponsored by Employee Benefit News.

SUMMARY:Language Access and Translation Strategies Colloquium for Health Plans
DESCRIPTION:Health insurance plans in the United States face an increased need to communicate with limited English proficient (LEP) members. In the State of California\, plans are working to improve access to health care services – including translation and interpreting services – in part due to Senate Bill SB 853. Because of demographic and regulatory changes\, health plans need to quickly ramp up their knowledge of the best practices and technologies that facilitate the provision of language services. Common Sense Advisory will convene health plans to share findings\, best practices\, and lessons learned. \nWhat topics will be covered? \n\n    Buying translation – learn about the latest research on pricing methodologies\, average prices\, best practices for procuring translation services\, and vendor management techniques.\nTechnology – discover how machine translation (MT)\, computer-assisted translation (CAT)\, and  translation management systems (TMS) can help ensure quality\, improve consistency\, and save costs.\nQuality assurance – learn about standards for translation quality\, road blocks\, the role of vendor-buyer relationships\, the truth about "back translations\," sample translations\, and QA processes.\nHealth plan case studies – hear about the experiences of three California health plans that worked to implement technologies and create processes for providing written translation services.\n\nWhy attend? \n\nLearn vendor-neutral best practices.\nObtain insight from presenters with decades of experience working on the translation vendor side.\nBenefit from Common Sense Advisory's proven research methodology.\nUnderstand the latest market data and technology.\nTake away concrete examples from case studies presented by peers.\nDiscuss issues with colleagues in a neutral\, independent forum\, without the presence of vendors.\n\nWho should attend? \n\nLanguage services coordinators at health plans\, providers\, government staff\, patient advocates\, other decision makers responsible for implementing\, planning\, or purchasing language services. Language service companies and other vendors are not allowed to sponsor or attend the colloquium.\n\nCost of event: $299Cost of event prior to December 15\, 2008: $149 \nFor more information and to register\, visit www.commonsenseadvisory.com/training/colloquium.php    \n
