Why would a successful health care system change its winning strategies to move toward value-based care?  Brian Gragnolati, President & CEO of Atlantic Health System, offers a real-life view of one organization’s transformational journey in the name of greater access and affordability for every patient and consumer. The discussion focuses on the adaptive change required to mobilize key stakeholders in governance and leadership, build collaborative relationships with former competitors and those who pay for care (employers, private insurers and government), all while experimenting with new payment and physician integration models and innovative care coordination initiatives. Looking at health care through the lens of affordability, this session encourages individuals and organizations to work together to design a more inclusive, equitable health care system that puts patients first.
