Discovery Sessions – Grays Peak Rooms

Building a Better Health System: People Partnering with Providers
We are all looking for ways to improve the health care system that position people at its center. Some ideas that have emerged include patient-centered care, health information technology and payment reform. To be successful, we will need to engage people to participate in these new models of care and in the development and implementation of the models. We have designed this session to provide examples of new and successful partnerships that bring health professionals and people together. In addition, you'll hear individuals describe how they want the health care system to look and function with their own health as the focus. Get involved with this Discovery Session: Bring your ideas about how to build effective health partnerships.

Facilitators:
Tracy Price-Johnson – Faculty, JFK Partners, UC Denver School of Medicine; Children's Hospital Colorado

An Imperative Takes Shape: Rewarding Value in Health Care
Americans pay nearly twice as much for their health care as citizens of most other industrialized countries. Yet many of our health outcomes rank lower than many of these nations. A significant part of the problem is that our health system compensates providers for the volume of services they provide, rather than the outcomes of those services. In addition, our system does not reward prevention at the same levels it rewards acute care. Recognizing these disparities is an important first step toward developing solutions. This session explores some of those potential solutions, including promising payment models for increasing value in health care.

Facilitators:
Philip B. Kalin – President and CEO, Center for Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC)
Chris Adams – President, Engaged Public

Participants:
Sue Birch – Executive Director, Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF)
Tom Dameron – President and General Manager, CIGNA HealthCare

Annette Quintana – CEO, Istonish, Inc.

Changing Behaviors: Translating Awareness into Engagement
Can we convince and engage the public to accept and assume ownership of health as a shared value just as they do education and community safety? And if the answer is "yes," can we measure and report the return on the investments we make toward those efforts? Evolving health to a shared community value is particularly daunting in an era of instant gratification. And yet many success models hold promise to do just that. This session examines important community engagement questions from the perspectives of health-focused organizations that have either moved communities to action or are in the early stages of launching major community engagement initiatives.

Facilitator:
Karl Weiss - President, HealthCare Research, Inc.

Participants:
Scott Downes - Senior Project Director, The Colorado Trust
Tracy Faigin Boyle - Vice President of Marketing and Communications, LiveWell Colorado
Kent MacLennan – Executive Director, Colorado Meth Project

Interactive Debate
Resolved: The PPACA should be repealed and new approaches to health care reform should be explored.

Are you tired of the cable shout-fests on health care reform? Are you ready for a lively and intelligent debate where your opinion matters? You'll find one at the Colorado Health Symposium's second annual interactive debate – a verbal duel among some of the sharpest and most articulate voices on health reform.

Audience members are part of the action – questioning the debaters, weighing in on the arguments and deciding the winner.

An Uneasy Alliance: Health Care and the Media
Reporting on health care reform poses particular challenges, especially during a time of declining readership, viewership and newsroom budgets. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's complexities, the politicization of the issue, the deluge of misinformation, the intensely personal nature of health care, and the ever-increasing influence of new media, all make the job of reliable, accurate reporting a difficult one. Given these and other challenges, what kind of job has the media done in helping keep Americans informed about this important and controversial legislation?

T.R. Reid – Author and Documentarian

Diane Carman – Communications Director, School of Public Affairs, University of Colorado Denver

Where Law Shapes Behaviors: The Farm Bill and Obesity Prevention
Up for renewal in 2013, the farm bill governs federal farm and food policy, covering a wide range of programs and provisions. This discussion will focus on the larger policy issue and how it relates to obesity prevention. How do the provisions of the bill hinder or contribute to efforts to engage the public and provide them with the ability to choose healthier lives through better nutrition?

Facilitator:
Kelly Brownell, PhD - Co-Founder and Director, Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity

Participants:

Health in Crisis: Addressing Colorado's Structural Imbalance
Colorado's fiscal policies adversely affect provider reimbursement rates, public insurance program eligibility, safety net clinics, graduate medical education, public health programs and schools. Unless the structural imbalance in Colorado's fiscal policies is addressed, Colorado will continue to fall behind other states in the provision and funding of health care. This session will identify options to address Colorado's fiscal challenges.

Facilitator:
Chris Adams – President, Engaged Public
