Suzanne F. Delbanco Highlights the Importance of the ACO Coalition Live Meetings

With various healthcare stakeholders having different wants and needs from the healthcare system, meetings that bring all parties together in one room are important, according to Suzanne F. Delbanco, executive director of Catalyst for Payment Reform, and keynote speaker at the spring live meeting of the ACO and Emerging Healthcare Delivery Coalition.

Transcript:

As a person who has worked for a long time with employers and other healthcare purchasers, it can be very challenging to bridge the divide between those on the buy side of the market and those who actually supply healthcare—they speak a different language; they have different needs and wants.

So it's very important to have opportunities where the 2 can come together and talk about what it is that we want from the healthcare system, and how to come up with sustainable ways for all parties to get to better value in healthcare.
