The Population Health Alliance, the leader in advancing the principles of population health, announced today the agenda for the Executive Leadership Institute, a mainstay of its annual conference, the PHA Forum 2014, to be held December 10-12, in Scottsdale, Arizona, with the theme, Collaborate + Communicate = Engage. Registration is open online.
For the industry leaders, the Executive Leadership Institute at PHA Forum 2014 is a space for discussion, networking and agenda setting, comprised as its own conference track focused on broader strategic issues geared towards health care executives.
“Last year, the Executive Leadership Institute attracted a great group of professionals in senior leadership positions among providers, payers, employers large and small and several other in the healthcare arena,” said Fred Goldstein, PHA Executive Director. “In 2014, the lineup of speakers is top notch, and we expect a very spirited conversation.”
The Institute, sponsored by Alere, will encourage attendees to take a good look at what’s happening and what needs to be done to shape the future so that the population health industry achieves the desired outcomes in the transformation and ultimate improvement of America’s health and healthcare.
“The speakers will address some of the larger issues with which the industry is grappling as population health principles become a mainstay of payers, provider groups, government and communities. What’s the outlook for the next 10, 20 years? Can we improve the health of populations at a community level? What does global outsourcing look like these days? What are the pressing research concerns?” said Goldstein.
