Program Content and Objectives

For healthcare executive leaders who need to correctly gauge the direction of healthcare reform -- and begin timely adaptation to key implications -- Dr. Numerof has critically important insights to offer.

With Congressional action on healthcare reform in limbo, many in the industry are opting just to "wait and see". That’s a risky strategy, because even without Congressional consensus, CMS must and will act to avoid its own financial meltdown -- and that has the potential to revolutionize the marketplace just as DRGs did 20 years ago.

As president of NAI, a strategy consulting firm, Dr. Numerof has worked with leading companies in industries in transition for over 20 years. She provides a global perspective on the industry’s challenges given her work across it -- from providers and payers to pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers.

Rita’s unique insights and breadth of experience have propelled her into an advisory role to members of Congress on healthcare reform. Based on an objectivity that stems from having worked with all key stakeholders, she’s become known as an "equal opportunity critic" working to conceptualize and implement practical strategies.

In this webinar Dr. Numerof will "connect the dots" of recent trends and governmental actions, laying out a proactive strategic path forward for healthcare delivery. Key topics will include:

• What’s already embedded in law and certain to impact healthcare delivery, regardless of any future legislation


• What HHS funding priorities suggest about changes to come


• The implications of what’s already in motion, and the traditional business model assumptions providers need to reexamine


• Steps to take now to prepare for changes that will impact revenue and financial viability -- sooner than later

The one-hour session will include a 30-35 minute discussion and 25-30 minutes for Q&A.
