Healthcare Forecast Breakfast

The arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic in Central Pennsylvania in March of 2020 has changed almost everything about how we live, work and play! Notably, one of the most significant changes is in the delivery of healthcare. Join us to learn how care has changed during the pandemic as well as what experts view as the future of care delivery. Gain valuable insights into how our health systems are addressing:

• Cost & Quality in healthcare delivery
• Price Transparency
• Access to Care
• Innovation

Since it does not appear that the virus is leaving us any time soon, we need to continue to focus on the development of plans to address rising costs and the need for quality care moving forward. Provider payment reform, innovative benefit and network designs, and price transparency have all been evolving slowly in the right direction. But how will the COVID-19 pandemic impact this progress and what new opportunities does it create? How can employers and the stakeholders in healthcare delivery work together to create new models for success?

Attend the CPBGH in person event to gain a better understanding of:

• The power of employers to influence cost and quality
• Innovative strategies to change the paradigm of healthcare delivery
• Benchmarks in the region for plan design and cost compared to recent years and national data from the 2021 CPBGH Healthcare Benefits Survey

You’ll walk away with concrete strategies that will have a combined, significant effect in your purchasing strategy and ability to provide high-quality, cost-effective care!

This event will include a COVID-19 Medical and Legal update covering mask/vaccine mandates, and a roundtable discussion featuring Phil Guarneschelli of UPMC Central Pa., John Herman of Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, Steve Massini of Penn State Health and Carrie Willetts of WellSpan Health.
