Of note:
> 24m 30s: demonstration of a new app (closed beta) “Hospital Adviser Medicare Hip & Knee” developed by Consumer Reports (US equivalent of Choice Magazine) using publicly released de-identified cost CMS government data (if only in AU!!) – tip: don’t get your hip or knee done in NYC
> presentation by Castlight Health – US analytics business providing employees and employers personalised price & quality transparency for procedures/conditions/doctors
> The conference found that transparency is necessary but not sufficient to deliver improvements in care.
> 49m 25s: Value-based pricing – the benefit of the care, not its cost
> 50m: providers don’t have feedback on their own performance (let alone payers and patients) – when providers see their own price competitiveness, they adjust their prices
> 56m: Leapfrong asked how can transparency be applied to over-utilization of procedures? By feedback to providers.
