Cost cutting and shifting are paying diminishing returns on holding down health costs, but innovative employers are finding ways to improve the bottom line by keeping employees healthy and by providing access to affordable quality care inside and outside of their communities.
Delegates to these conferences will include senior corporate and health leaders from across stakeholder sectors who are meeting for peer discussions, to hear expert insights and to review case studies on achieving the economic advantages of keeping employees healthy and finding access to affordable and high quality care.
“Financial and other C-Suite executives have clearly made the link between the health of their employees and company gains in productivity and real sustainable long-term cost improvements,” according to Skip Brickley, Director of Consumer Health World Conference, “but they are increasingly demanding hard metrics and ROI rather than anecdotal evidence of a program’s success.
We believe, especially in our current economy, that reducing corporate costs is an overriding priority and that executives at the policy level will be taking a harder look at incorporating international and out of community providers into their health plan provider networks as a way to reduce benefits costs.”
