SUMMARY:Webinar: The Health Care Revolution No One's Talking About: Changing How We Pay for Care
DESCRIPTION:Health insurers and the federal Medicare program are seeking the best ways to pay providers based on value and performance rather than on the volume of services they deliver.

Included in the discussion will be how can journalists find compelling human stories amid these trends. \nThis free webinar is sponsored by USC Annenberg/California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships and the National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation. \nJournalists can register here. \nDate & time:1 p.m. – 2 p.m.\, March 19\, 2015
