Froedtert Health CEO to Speak at World Health Care Conference

Milwaukee, Wis. (March 20, 2015) – Froedtert Health president and chief executive officer Cathy Jacobson will join health care decision makers from all sectors of health care to discuss critical issues facing the American health care system at the World Health Care Conference in Washington, DC, March 22-25. At the forefront are the ripple effects of the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law five years ago on March 23, 2010.

Jacobson will speak on a panel about integrated delivery networks, which will focus on:

• The emergence of value-driven alliances and partnerships between payers, providers, employers, and suppliers
• Provider consolidation and the future of these affiliations
• The rise of the employed physician and how that changes health care delivery
• The outlook for vertical integration of health insurance plans and health care systems

The World Health Care Conference annually convenes health care leaders to discuss and share insights about significant factors affecting the health care sector.

Themes of the 2015 conference include the impact of ACA implementation on health care businesses one year in, payer and provider consolidation, new approaches to value-based payment, and novel partnerships with true potential to move the needle on care coordination and delivery.
