Accelerating the Adoption of Connected Health

Chantal Worzala, PhD, Director of Policy, American Hospital Association, and Sarah Thomas, Director of Research, Center for Health Solutions (DCHS), and Casey Korba Health Policy Manager, DCHS, Deloitte Consulting, LLC.  The demand for value is prompting healthcare organizations to find more efficient and effective ways to improve care, including making services more accessible through facilitating patient-provider connectivity “anytime and anywhere.” Connected health (cHealth) is a system that enables integrated care delivery through leveraging existing technology. This teleconference explores the different cHealth strategies health care stakeholders are applying to their chronic disease management programs (where the greatest potential for return-on-investment lies), the business case for cHealth through the implementation of value-based care payment models like ACOs and bundling, and case studies of pioneering health care organizations who are executing these strategies.
