The American Medical Group Association (AMGA) is convening more than 600 participants, representing the leaders of the nation's preeminent healthcare provider organizations, at the IQL 2012 Annual Conference, October 3 - 5 at the Gaylord National Harbor Resort & Conference Center in National Harbor, MD. This year's annual meeting of the association's Institute for Quality Leadership (IQL) explores successful models of accountable care including the Medicare Shared Savings Program, the ACO Pioneer program, and various commercial insurance models.
Under the theme "Routes to Tomorrow's Health Care: Successful Models of Accountable Care," the conference will show that America's future healthcare model is already in place at a number of AMGA groups. Leaders from these innovative groups will present successful routes they have taken to transition from volume-based care to value-based, accountable care models and will provide you with tangible tools to aid your group in becoming a high-performing health system.
"These groups are committed to reforming our healthcare delivery system," said Donald W. Fisher, Ph.D., CAE, AMGA president and chief executive officer. "This meeting reveals the way many groups are forging ahead to create a health system that delivers real quality and value to patients. While others may doubt that ACOs will live up to their promise, these groups are redefining what it means to be a high-performing health system and showing that coordination of care improves quality, bends the cost curve, and delivers value."
