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.

SUMMARY:IOM workshop: Impact of the ACA on U.S. preparedness resources and programs
DESCRIPTION:With many elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) going into effect in 2014\, and the establishment of many new rules and regulations\, there have been and will continue to be significant changes to the U.S. health system. However\, it is not clear what impact these changes will have on medical and public health preparedness programs around the country.  As funding for these programs continues to decline\, leveraging changes in health care delivery and structure to enhance and increase individual and community preparedness becomes even more important. \nThis workshop will examine how the changes to the health system as a result of the ACA may impact the medical and public health preparedness programs across the nation\, and how the ACA provisions may be leveraged to strengthen the resilience of the medical and public health preparedness systems.  Beginning with discussions on changing financing and delivery\, and moving to more detailed conversations on roles and potential within threat identification and information technology infrastructure\, participants will examine current and future opportunities for protecting the nation’s health in disasters through new relationships and more integrated care.  \nSee the draft agenda. \nMeeting objectives: \n\n\nExplore opportunities to leverage benefits of health care reform and develop action steps that the preparedness community can take to mitigate identified challenges. \n\n\nDiscuss challenges and benefits of the Affordable Care Act to disaster preparedness and response efforts around the country. \n\n\nConsider how changes to payment and reimbursement models will present opportunities and challenges to strengthen disaster preparedness and response capacities. \n\n\nExplore potential impacts changing health care delivery infrastructure may have on disaster preparedness and response. \n\n\nConsider how impacts on the health system workforce may impact resilience\, emergency preparedness\, response\, mitigation\, and recovery. \n\n\nExplore how changes to data collected through health information technology may be used to strengthen community resilience. \n\n\nEvaluate needs and opportunities in data collection\, surveillance\, and communication for robust threat identification and public health response. \n\n\nPreregistration is strongly encouraged due to security procedures required to access NAS/IOM facilities. \nNational Academy of Sciences Building (Lecture Room)2101 Constitution Avenue\, NWWashington\, DC 20418
