Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b45d16/health_plan_transp) has announced the addition of the "Health Plan Transparency Strategies and Initiatives: Investing in Today's Market and Business Mandates Audio Conference" report to their offering.
Value considerations, including price and quality, are beginning to transform how consumers make healthcare decisions. As a result, health plans need to provide information that is useful to consumers, instead of just publishing technical data, experts say.
More than half of payer organizations report plans to make significant investments in transparency initiatives this year, according to a recent survey by Health Industry Insights. Transparency is an important step toward health care reform that reshapes the entire delivery system, most industry stakeholders believe.
"Transparency is at the heart of a more integrated, efficient, and effective healthcare system. To respond successfully to healthcare market business and performance mandates, healthcare payers must manage their provider relationships with greater care, efficiency, and agility than ever before. Healthcare information transparency requires efficient automation processes, integration of cost, benefit and care management information, and a consistent delivery of information to all stakeholders at the point of decision," said Janice Young, program director for Healthcare Industry Insights.
What are the key healthcare payer transparency strategies and initiatives this year? How can current provider criticisms of health plan transparency be overcome? And what are the requirements to be successful?
Learn how leading U.S. healthcare payers are approaching transparency and what future opportunities transparency will lead to in the future. Join The Managed Care Information Center and attend "Health Plan Transparency Strategies and Initiatives: Investing in Today's Market and Business Mandates," that took place in June 2008
