www.njspotlight.com As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, it creates both challenges and opportunities for the professionals charged with shaping the healthcare policies of their organizations -- including government, private enterprises, unions, and advocacy groups. These are the healthcare experts charged with planning, making decisions, educating consumers, developing fee schedules, and analyzing public policies -- among other tasks. The key to overcoming those challenges and making the most of opportunities: accurate, trustworthy data that drives informed, forward-looking decisions. That's easily said, but where can healthcare experts, lobbyists, policymakers, providers, and benefit administrators find an accessible source of reliable information? The NJ Spotlight Webinar: Finding Data-Driven Answers to Questions About Healthcare Policies explores one solution. Learn about a powerful, tool that enables you to access a database of more than 15 billion medical and dental records billed through private health insurance. That's exactly the type of data needed to track and assess costs and spot and respond to emerging trends. Special guest FAIR Health, an independent not-for-profit, will discuss how this data can be put to work to: • Inform out-of-network reimbursement • Fuel consumer educational resources and cost-lookup tools • Analyze the impact of public health laws • Understand utilization and access to care • Engage consumers on private and public healthcare exchanges • Plan the cost components of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) • Develop Workers' Compensation and Auto Liability fee schedules • Advance provider dispute-resolution programs • Assess trends in overuse, underuse, and misuse of procedures and tests • Frame cost profiles for treatment scenarios and chronic disease patients • Support the design of "fraud" dashboards and algorithms Moderator: Lee Keough, Managing Editor, NJ Spotlight Expert: Robin Gelburd, President, FAIR Health
