Healthcare Providers on Cost of Care in Memphis
At the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Forum, Don Berwick challenged healthcare leaders across America to look at their expenditure in healthcare as a community. Memphis Quality Initiative is engaging key healthcare providers in a dialogue about the cost of healthcare. Hospital CEOs and CFOs, physician leaders from leading practices and leaders from Medicaid and commercial health plans are meeting to discuss the total health expenditure in Shelby County - detailed in various sectors, such as hospitals, professional fees, drug costs, etc. Two in-depth presentations will detail these costs, comparing Shelby County expenditures with that of the nation and other high quality, low cost counties. The presentations are - "How Local Leadership Can Control Costs and Improve Quality" by Harold Miller, Executive Director of the Center for Healthcare Quality & Payment Reform and "Preparing for Payment Reform" by Manoj Jain, M.D., Medical Director of Quality at Tennessee's Quality Improvement Organization.
