A PAC is any event that affects the patient negatively and is potentially under the physician’s or hospital’s control. \nAHCJ members are invited to a webcast at 1 p.m. EST on Nov. 12 with François de Brantes\, HCI3’s executive director\, who will explain the methodology and preview the results of the organization’s third annual State Report Card on Transparency of Physician Quality Information. \nRead more about the State Report Card on Transparency of Physician Quality Information. \nAbout the speaker \nFrançois de Brantes\, M.S.\, M.B.A.\, is executive director of the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute (HCI3)\, a not-for-profit company that designs and implements innovative payment and benefit plan design programs. HCI3 works with states\, employers\, health plans and provider organizations\, as well as national consultanciesto advise them on payment and delivery system reform. \nPreviously\, de Brantes was the program leader for various health care initiatives at GE’s corporate headquarters\, responsible for developing and implementing GE’s Active Consumer strategy. \nHe has has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine\, the Journal of the American Medical Association and Health Affairs and is frequently quoted in national media including The New York Times. He has also published two books\, the latest being “The Incentive Cure: The Real Relief For Health Care.” \nJoseph Burns\, AHCJ’s core topic leader on health insurance\, will moderate the webcast.  \n\nFrançois de Brantes \n\n\nJoseph Burns

SUMMARY:Hospital Acquisition of Physician Practices: Higher Value or Higher Costs?
DESCRIPTION:Mathematica /Center on Health Care Effectiveness webinar\nOver the past two decades\, hospitals have acquired an increasing number of physician practices.. This event looks at the reasons and the effect on cost and quality. A growing body of research suggests that these arrangements do not necessarily improve care coordination – and they do push up costs. How can policymakers shift the focus to high value? \nFrom 11:45 am to 1:30 pm. Register to attend in person or for the webinar. \nFor more information email chce@mathematica-mpr.com
