Establishing Value as a Healthcare Cost Containment Priority
Healthcare costs are eating into wages. Explore value-led healthcare strategies that optimize care, reduce ineffective spend and allow employers to reinvest in wages, meaningful benefits and rewards.
ASHHRA is proud to host the second annual Benefits Symposium, a boutique event where hospital benefits leaders network, share insights, and discuss practical solutions to healthcare HR’s most vexing challenges.
Healthcare costs are consuming an increasing share of Total Rewards spend, making it difficult to invest in wages, benefits and rewards that keep pace with evolving employee needs and expectations. Join your hospital peers from leading health systems to explore:
- How a value-led healthcare benefit framework challenges traditional benefit management practices by introducing a new way to approach and evaluate your health and wellbeing programs.
- Focus your health plan management strategy by applying new criteria that measures “what must be true” within your programs for cost savings to occur.
- How innovative benefits partners are embedding this approach into their offerings and business models.
- Learning from leading health systems who have found measurable results in cost savings and employee wellbeing by implementing these strategies.
