The Upper Midwest's leading conference for transforming health care.
14th Annual ICSI/IHI Colloquium On Health Care Transformation
Thriving in an Era of Health Care Reform: Advancing Accountability, Affordability and the Patient Experience
St. Paul RiverCentre, St. Paul, MN
May 16-18, 2011The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has launched a new era for health care, with a tremendous focus on accountability, affordability, and patient access and experience. It’s a difficult environment to navigate in, let alone thrive in. You need insights, proven redesign models and new leadership skills in order to succeed in this new era.
To help your organization thrive in the years ahead, plan to attend the 14th Annual ICSI/IHI Colloquium on Health Care Transformation. The Colloquium has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s leading events on health care transformation, as attested to by last year’s record attendance. This year’s stellar program centers around transforming care delivery and payment systems. Regional and national experts will address topics ranging from accountable care organizations to using social media for disease management. We will also focus on a mainstay of our Colloquia — programs on quality improvement and safety that clinics and hospitals can implement to positively impact the quality of care they deliver to their patients.

This new patient engagement in health and health care is enabled through self-activation, information and communications technology, and health providers teaming with patients. In her presentation, she will explain what's driving the health consumer to become a participatory patient as well as explore the convergence of factors that are motivating a growing number of people to deeply engage in their own health and the health of those for whom they manage care. These factors include the economy, household economics, pervasive health information on the Internet, mobile technology, and health plan 'nudges' toward wellness, among others. Ms. Sarasohn-Kahn will conclude with a forecast on the prospects for participatory health.
