Health Care Reform imposes a number of new requirements on the benefits that must be covered by certain group health plans.  Many of these requirements take effect for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Health care HR leaders, hospitals, and health systems need to prepare for this impending change.

Is your organization prepared for 2014 health care plan requirements?  The time has come for employers to decide whether to play or pay under the employer shared responsibility mandate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).  If the answer is to play, employers need to take steps now to comply with the employer shared responsibility requirements and avoid significant penalties that may apply for failure to offer coverage to full-time employees or for offering unaffordable or insufficient coverage to full-time employees.

The webinar will focus on the steps other hospitals and health systems are taking and summarize the recent regulatory developments and transitional guidance including:

Collective Impact Strategies to Achieve Systemic and Sustainable Health Improvement - Part 2
June 4, 2013
2:00-3:00 ET
1:00-2:00 CT
 
No single organization can effectively address complex community health issues such as access to primary and preventive health care services, health promotion and health protection. Achieving meaningful impact on these issues requires systems level change and needs to involve a range of cross-sector organizations. While cross-sector collaborations are not new, effective cross-sector collaborations that have achieved meaningful, systems-level impact at scale are not common.
 
FSG, over the past five years, has researched close to three dozen examples (including in community health) of effective cross-sector collaborations across the globe. This research culminated in the development of the collective impact framework which essentially captures the key principles that make collaborations effective.
 
In this webinar, FSG will share how collective impact can be helpful in addressing community health issues using two specific examples: asthma prevention and obesity. Through these examples, participants will have the chance to understand in depth, how hospitals, public health institutions, safety net organizations, philanthropy, nonprofit organizations, the local community and corporations (pharmaceutical, medical device and health insurance) have worked collaboratively to address these issues.
 
Presenter:
Lalitha Vaidyanathan, Managing Director at FSG
