I’m speaking this afternoon at the Conference Board’s Employee Health Care Conference in San Diego. It looks like an interesting agenda today and tomorrow. My segment is titled, “The Real Path to Improving Quality and Costs.”
I’ll be sure to post updates and share my key learnings. Stay tuned.
LIVE UPDATE (12:27pm): First panel is about the Health Dividend, which seems to mean the savings available from healthier lifestyles and wellness. Hal Rosenbluth SVP Walgreens just presented and highlighted the very aggressive move they are making into clinics at their stores and related wellness services. He said that almost all Americans live within five miles of a Walgreens so this is a great platform for community wellness. He also talked about how proud he was of the very high rates of appropriate use of antibiotics, which he said was a major problem in the market.
