Scottsdale Institute’s third decade began auspiciously with our 21st Spring Conference at the Camelback Inn. More than 120 energized executives from SI member organizations and sponsors gathered to address the issue of the day: how do we move from a volume-based, fee-for-service world to one focused on value, patient-centered accountable care and population-health management?

SI Chairman Don Wegmiller kicked off the three-day event and introduced keynote speaker Paul H. Keckley, PhD, Editor of the Keckley Report and Advisor to the American Hospital Association and the Bipartisan Policy Center. Mr. Keckley addressed “Health Reform 2.0: What’s Ahead?” Among other trends, he noted, bundled payments will take center stage, many states are rewriting the Medicaid program while they expand it and insurers are more than willing to play in the health insurance exchanges.
