From the Outside Looking In

Jacque J. Sokolov, MD, Chairman and Managing Partner, SSB Partners/Consultants

Over the past 15 years, he has led consulting engagements with top-tier physician organizations, hospital systems, and managed care organizations in virtually every major market in the country.  By understanding the different business and clinical perspectives of large employers, health plans, hospitals, physicians, and other stakeholders, SSB has unique insight into the forces and dynamics that shape health care in America today. Dr. Sokolov will draw from this broad exposure to present a balanced and far-reaching vision for where health care is headed, opportunities and pitfalls that could appear along the way, and how the likely changes will affect AMGA’s members.

10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Council Reaction – Insurance Exchanges and their Impact

Depending on what state your organization is operating in, you could be faced with a number of different scenarios. Whether or not your state will be setting up exchanges or fall into the federal default model; further which states will expand or block the expansion of Medicaid? Share your own insights and strategies, and consult with fellow Medical Group and Health System executives who are grappling with these similar issues.

John Santa, M.D., M.P.H., Director of the Health Ratings Center, Consumer Reports

When should patients say “Whoa!” to their doctors? Consumer Reports has some answers in a new follow-up report to the Choosing Wisely campaign launched in April by the ABIM Foundation.
