The cost of employer-sponsored health care is rising precipitously for most of the private sector, often ranking as the second or third highest business expense; however, Wisconsin can boast of some notable exceptions to this trend. These business success stories offer innovative models not only of how to “bend the cost curve” but of how to transform employer-sponsored health care to improve population health. John Torinus, CEO of Serigraph and author of The Company that Solved Health Care, and George Kerwin, President and CEO of Bellin Health will speak about their businesses success reducing health care costs. Professor Tom DeLeire will serve as discussant. This briefing will identify key components of these models’ success, discuss to what degree these key components are replicable in the public sector, and identify challenges in transferring such models from the private to the public sector.
Wisconsin legislators face a current Medicaid budget shortfall of $150M ($1.8B over the biennium) and the task of implementing new federal health care reform initiatives. Confronting these challenges will require legislators to consider a broad range of policy options to reduce costs and improve the overall health of populations served through publically funded health care programs. This briefing will explore what lessons these private sector examples can offer for improving quality and reducing costs.
Breakfast registration starts at 8:15am
