Drug Pricing: Policy and Politics
September 17, 12 pm – 1 pm EST
University of Pennsylvania LDI
Despite bipartisan agreement that the high cost of drugs must be addressed, proposals to reform the U.S. drug pricing system have languished for years. There’s no shortage of ideas on what to do—Medicare price negotiation, greater price transparency, international reference pricing, patent exclusivity changes, and price controls all have their advocates. But there’s no consensus on how to strike the right balance between making drugs affordable now, and preserving financial incentives for developing new drugs in the future. Join our expert panel as they discuss the policy options for drug pricing, the appropriate roles of government and markets, and prospects for reform in the current political environment.

Building Wealth, Building Health
October 1, 12 pm – 1 pm EST
University of Pennsylvania LDI
The connection between wealth and health was never more evident than during the pandemic. As the temporary expansion of the child tax credit lifts millions of families out of poverty, policymakers are debating more permanent measures to build wealth in disadvantaged communities, such as “baby bonds” and guaranteed income. The impact on health and health care could be dramatic. This panel will discuss the evidence surrounding wealth and health, how health care providers can address their patients’ financial needs, cash benefits as an alternative to health insurance expansion, and real-world experiences in building wealth as a way to improve health.

Session 3: The Importance of a Digital Transformation Strategy for Post-COVID Health Car – March- May 2021
Boston University Questrom School of Business
Digitally Transforming Post-COVID Health Care – a 7-part webinar series:
Pre-COVID Health Care wrestled with serious systemic problems that drove disappointing quality and cost outcomes. Even though digital transformation held the promise of solutions to those systemic problems, the Health Care sector lagged other sectors in digitally transforming. COVID-19 forced decision makers to quickly turn to digital tools to mitigate the devastating impact of the health crisis. But merely adopting digital tools is not digital transformation. This 7-session series presents an evidence-based approach to digitally transforming Health Care to address the immediate COVID Crisis and improve post-COVID Health Care outcomes dramatically.

The New Health IT: Post-Pandemic Capabilities and Challenges – March 17, 2021
Baylor University
While IT departments have been successful over the last year, the IT workforce is tired, and the separation of IT work from general healthcare creates new challenges. In this presentation, we will share the lessons learned on how effective IT support enabled a large health system to manage the pandemic and the current surge in demand for care and vaccinations. The pandemic has forced healthcare IT departments to become more agile and deliver new functionality in near real time. Development efforts that traditionally took months were compressed into weeks.
We identify the six IT capabilities that are essential to any healthcare delivery system: testing and contact tracing, patient classification, seamless documentation, telehealth, remote monitoring in ICU and other remote settings, collaborative capacity planning across healthcare delivery systems, and effective governance through one-stop requirements generation.
