SUMMARY:National Affordability Summit
DESCRIPTION:Everyday we hear about the impact that rising healthcare costs have on the nation\, communities\, and individuals. For example\, a recent survey indicated that 44 percent of Americans didn’t see a physician last year when they were sick or injured due to high healthcare costs. NRHI’s first National Affordability Summit explored the question of why healthcare costs so much and what we can do about it. This event will dig deeper – exploring how three key issues − health\, price\, & waste − influence the affordability of healthcare. We will highlight regional success stories from those who are working to impact affordability in their markets. \nMore than 200 health care practitioners\, policy makers\, consumers and health plan representatives will gather to discuss the actions\, changes and political will needed to bring down health care costs.  \nLivestream available – attendence is free for media. \nWHEN: Thursday\, Oct. 4\, 7:30 a.m.–3:45 p.m.

SUMMARY:Affordable Drugs Forum Assembles Nation’s Top Health\, Government Leaders

SUMMARY:Deadline to apply: AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Care Performance
DESCRIPTION:The AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Care Performance is a yearlong program allowing journalists to pursue a significant reporting project related to the U.S. health care system. It can be local or national in scope\, or a little of both — say an aspect of the Affordable Care Act playing out in your community or subject specialty\, or the impact of particular evidence-based treatments on health outcomes\, or an analysis of a health care organization’s performance\, using public data sets. Fellows pursue the projects with the support of their newsrooms or freelance outlets\, which commit to publish or air the work.  \nGuidance is provided by AHCJ fellowship leaders through customized seminars on health care systems\, conference calls and email consultations. The fellowship covers the cost of attending the seminars and AHCJ conferences\, and a $4\,000 project allowance is available to defray the cost of field reporting\, health data analysis and other project-related research. In addition\, each fellow will receive a $2\,500 fellowship award upon the successful completion of the project. \nThe application deadline is noon CT on Oct. 31. Apply now!
