ACHP 2021 Virtual Fall Clinical Conference: The Big Pivot: Reinventing Tomorrow
ACHP is hosting its Annual Symposium in Washington, DC September 22-23, 2021. This course will address the following topics through sessions led by guest speakers, our own plans, and discussions. We begin with “Health Care in a Post-COVID World,” hear from leading health experts on how the industry continues to tackle testing, vaccines and a return to normal — as well as the role health plans can and should play amid and following a global pandemic. Speakers: Alice Chen, MD; Made to Save, Josh Sharfstein, M.D.; Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Adaeze Enekwechi, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, moderated by Lisa Simpson, President and CEO Academy Health. In “Tackling Disparities, Improving Health Equity,” Kulleni Gebreyes, Health Equity Institute Director, Deloitte, will give a presentation on the role of health plans in advancing efforts to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes across diverse populations. Then Ceci Connolly, CEO and President, ACHP, and Greg Adams, CEO, Kaiser Permanente, will present the Inaugural Bernard J. Tyson Health Equity Award. (No AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM awarded for this session.)
Next, speaker Kristine Bostek, VP PACE Programs, Fallon Health will talk about the “Next Generation Senior Care: The Promise of PACE.” During COVID-19, the PACE program allowed Fallon to live up to its mission of caring for those who need them most, providing valuable lessons on how to best support and care for frail elders in a nursing home alternative setting - now and in the future. In “Navigating the Washington Landscape: From Capitol Hill to the White House,” we will offer two panels. The first, “Capitol Hill Health Priorities Fall 2021,” will allow attendees to gain an understanding of where health priorities fit in the budget reconciliation process currently working through Congress. Senior House and Senate committee staff will map out their health priorities. Speakers: Shawn Bishop, Professional Staff, Senate Finance Committee. Nick Bath, Professional Staff, Senate HELP Committee, Una Lee, Professional Staff, House Energy & Commerce Committee, Amy Hall, Professional Staff, House Ways & Means Committee. Moderator: Michael Bagel, ACHP. The second panel, “President Biden’s 2022 Health Agenda,” will feature Christen Linke Young, Deputy Director, White House Domestic Policy Council, talking about the Biden Administration’s priorities and their strategy for the remainder of this year and into 2022. Moderator: Tricia Guay, ACHP.
We conclude Symposium with “Driving Ease and Affordability in Complex Care Delivery.” Led by speakers Michael Cropp, M.D.; President and CEO, Independent Health, and Brian O'Grady, President, Health Plan Markets, CDPHP, and moderated by Jason Langheier, Founder & CEO, Foodsmart, participants will learn how collaboration on data and strategy can create group insights with Food Care — fulfilling pledges around diabetes and CHF and informing bundles of SDOH care as well as food insecurity, vaccine administration, chronic disease, loneliness and addiction. (No AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM awarded for this session.)
