SUMMARY:Will Value-based Care Save the Health Care System?
DESCRIPTION:Value-based health care is one of the most pressing topics in health care finance and policy today. Value-based payment structures are widely touted as critical to controlling runaway health care costs\, but are often difficult for health care entities to incorporate into their existing infrastructures. Because value-based health care initiatives have bipartisan support\, it is likely that these programs will continue to play a major role in both the public and private health insurance systems. As such\, there is a pressing need to evaluate the implementation of these initiatives thus far and to discuss the direction that American health care financing will take in the coming years. \nTo explore this important issue\, the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy\, Biotechnology\, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School is collaborating with Ropes & Gray LLP to host a one-day conference on value-based health care. This event will bring together scholars\, health law practitioners\, and health care entities to evaluate the impact of value-based health care on the American health care system.   \n\n\nMarch 2\, 2018 9 AM – 5 PM  \n\n\nWasserstein Hall\, Milstein East ABC (2036)Harvard Law School\, 1585 Massachusetts Ave.\, Cambridge\, MA  \n\n\nRegister for this event

SUMMARY:Health journalists in South Florida are invited to a brunch/coffee meet and greet
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Feb. 24\, noon to 2 p.m. at Organic Bites  \n7010 Biscayne Blvd\,  Miami (in the MiMo District) \nIndependent journalists Meryl Davids Landau and Rachele Hendricks-Sturrup have launched a new South Florida chapter of the Association of Health Care Journalists. Our aim is to create social events and programming for health care journalists in the area (whether you report on health policy\, wellness\, specific medical conditions\, alternative medicine…). \nOur last meet-and-greet in Hollywood saw a number of last minute cancellations due to work obligations\, so we are experimenting with a Saturday brunch this time. Since many of the journalists who have expressed the most interest in getting together are in Miami\, this event is being held there. If you’re coming from the north (as Meryl is)\, let us know and we might be able to help you arrange a carpool. \nAHCJ will pay for the first $10 of your food or coffee.  You do not have to be a member of AHCJ to attend any of our events. \nPlease RSVP by sending email to Meryl Davids  at meryldavids2@gmail.com. \n

SUMMARY:Pitt Presents: ”˜Responsible Reporting of Gun Violence’ Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the University of Pittsburgh\, this symposium will bring together experts in mental health\, violence prevention\, public health\, law enforcement and media studies to examine ways to report gun violence to the public responsibly. Through a series of presentations and panel discussions\, experts will explore best practices for media coverage of gun violence\, such as methods to cover the news without leading to a clustering of violent events or copycat violence by people considering such attacks. \nWhile it is important to cover these events\, news stories often lead to an implication that there can be only two explanations: extremism or illness. This symposium will look at why this news coverage fuels the stigma of mental illness and false perceptions that people with mental illness are dangerous. \nPresenters: \n\n\nIntroduction (9:05 a.m.) \nJack Rozel\, M.D.\, M.S.L.\, associate professor of psychiatry\, Pitt School of Medicine \n\n\nThe Challenge of Developing a “Science” of Violence Prediction (9:15 a.m.) \nEdward P.

SUMMARY:Will the Real Cost Drivers Please Stand Up?
DESCRIPTION:High health care spending is a top concern for policymakers\, advocates and consumers alike. But what is driving our ever-increasing spending? New research provides details about the relative importance of various cost drivers (e.g.\, unit prices\, disease prevalence and intensity\, obesity\, etc.)\, both overall and within patient diagnoses groups (e.g.\, diabetes or heart disease). This research identifies the cost drivers that matter most and actionable information we can use to tackle our high health care spending trend. \nSpeakers:  \n\n\nJoseph Dielman\, Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation\, University of Washington \n\n\nLarry Levitt\, Kaiser Family Foundation \n\n\nLynn Quincy\, Healthcare Value Hub (moderator) \n\n\nRegister here. \n
