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. Instead of marketing almost exclusively to employers\, the ACA has forced insurers to focus on enrolling consumers. The conference is sponsored by Employee Benefit News.

SUMMARY:Shifting Challenges: Mental Health in the ACA Era
DESCRIPTION:Provisions of the 2010 health reform law\, combined with mental health parity legislation\, promise to make mental health care available to millions more Americans in 2014 through both private insurance and Medicaid. But\, the sweeping changes that these laws make to financing for mental health care will require states\, mental health providers\, private insurers and patients to make major adjustments. As more people gain coverage\, mental health experts fear that access to care could become an issue\, and members of Congress already are introducing legislation to address this concern.  \nWill the workforce be sufficient to serve the needs of all the newly enrolled? Will states need to expand the capacity of their mental health centers\, and how will changes in funding streams affect their ability to do so? How are states adapting to new federal insurance subsidies and potential matching revenue? Are community mental health centers prepared to bill Medicaid and insurance companies? What will the mental health care needs of the newly insured population be\, and can providing mental health care to that population reduce their total health care costs or increase their productivity? Are there further benefits when mental health care is integrated with primary care\, and what opportunities or challenges do the new laws create for integration? \nA distinguished panel of experts will address these and related questions.  \n\n\nTed Lutterman\, senior director of government and commercial research at the state mental health directors’ research institute\, will give an overview of the complex web of payers\, providers\, and patients that comprise the U.S. mental health care system and explain how parts of the system are adapting to this new era. \n\n\nJohn O’Brien\, senior policy advisor for the Disabled and Elderly Health Programs Group at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)\, will outline the effects that the new laws have had on CMS’ priorities for mental health care and offer results from their demonstration projects. \n\n\nLinda Rosenberg\, president and CEO of the National Coalition for Behavioral Healthcare\, will give a national perspective of the effects that new laws are having on the mental health care system\, and examine some of the challenges that remain. \n\n\nKarl Wilson\, former CEO of Crider Community Mental Health Center and Crider FQHC in Missouri\, will offer an on-the-ground perspective of the changes occurring in the U.S. mental health system\, and specifically about Missouri’s integration of mental health and primary care.  \n\n\nEd Howard of the Alliance and Andrew Hyman of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will co-moderate. \n\n\nThe event is sponsored by the nonpartisan Alliance for Health Reform and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \nWHEN:  Tuesday\, July 2\, 12:15 PM to 2:00 PM (Lunch available at noon)  \nWHERE: Room G-50\, Dirksen Senate Office Building \nRSVP by noon on Monday\, July 1\, by using this form or call 202-789-2300.   \nC-SPAN will broadcast the briefing live. You can watch on C-SPAN TV or at http://www.c-span.org/Live-Video/C-SPAN/. You can also listen on C-SPAN radio (90.1 FM in Washington\, DC).

SUMMARY:“The _____ (Doctor/Nurse/Other) Will See You Now”: Rethinking Scope of Practice
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will give you the latest on a flurry of state legislation to allow nurses\, nurse practitioners and other medical providers to do more to care for patients. \nMore than 25 million people are expected to gain insurance coverage through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act\, increasing the demand for care. At the same time\, the Association of American Medical Colleges has projected a shortage of 90\,000 physicians over the next ten years. \nLegislative proposals in states throughout the country would rethink the role of nurses\, nurse practitioners\, pharmacists and other medical providers in caring for patients. In some states\, nurse practitioners already can practice independently\, without the supervision of a physician. \n\n\nKavita Patel\, managing director for clinical transformation and delivery at the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at the Brookings Institution\, and a former Obama administration official\, will provide an overview of state activity and trends. \n\n\nGeraldine “Polly” Bednash\, executive director of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing\, will talk about the qualifications of nurses and nurse practitioners to care for patients in ways beyond what many states allow. \n\n\nReid Blackwelder\, a Tennessee family physician and president-elect of the American Academy of Family Physicians\, will discuss for the importance of sorting out the roles of physicians\, nurses and other medical providers in the new team-based care environment. \n\n\nMarilyn Werber Serafini of the Alliance will moderate the discussion. \n\n\nWHEN:  Wednesday\, July 17\, 1-2:30 p.m. \nRegister and submit questions in advance. After you register\, you’ll get an email with a link for the webinar. \nContact: (202)789-2300 mserafini@allhealth.org. \nThe event is sponsored by the nonpartisan Alliance for Health Reform and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

SUMMARY:Symposium on Sustainable U.S. Health Spending: Public Sector Imperative\, Private Sector Urgency
DESCRIPTION:The record run of historically slow growth in national health expenditures has not made unsustainable health spending suddenly sustainable. In previous research\, we have quantified sustainable health spending to better understand its underlying dynamics.   \nWith the Affordable Care Act approaching full implementation it is especially timely to further analyze cost factors\, distinguishing private and public sector growth trajectories. This half-day symposium will explicitly connect health spending growth to the long-run U.S. fiscal crisis by including both health economic and budget experts. \nWhat do the most recent data show for health spending growth? What has been the effect of the recession and tepid recovery\, and what does this portend for future growth? What are the forces that are changing (structurally rather than cyclically) health care delivery by private providers? How will pressures to hold down public spending impact the private sector? Is historically low spending sufficient to be sustainable? \nSpeakers will include Ceci Connolly\, Maya MacGuineas\, David Walker\, Gene Steuerle\, Uwe Reinhardt\, David Cutler and others. Register to attend the symposium in person or to join via webcast. \nWhen: 8:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m. (EST)\, Tuesday\, July 30\, 2013 \nWhere: Pew Charitable Trusts\, 901 E St.\, NW\, Washington\, D.C. 20004\, or via Webcast at the link above. \nContact: Ken Schwartz\, 571-733-5709\, ken.schwartz@altarum.org \n
