The meeting’s breakout session speaker list has been updated. The following industry leaders are confirmed to present on the following timely topics:

• What’s Next for Medi-Cal? – Brad Gilbert and John Baackes of Inland Empire Health Plan and L.A. Care Health Plan join Doug McKeever of Covered California for an informed discussion on the future of California’s Medicaid program. Topics include addressing health disparities and population health, and the next generation of ACOs.
   
• Saving Lives and Reducing Costs by Curing Sepsis – Dr. Andre Vovan, creator of a new approach to limiting sepsis in facilities, accompanies Rick Afable and Julianne Morath for an examination of evidence-based sepsis programs that get results. Improved sepsis outcomes decrease sepsis mortality and shorten hospital stays, which can improve overall patient health while reducing health care costs.
    
• Span of Control: Clinical, Business Impacts and Solutions – Jim Finkelstein, Bernard Klein, Theresa Murphy and Jerry Spicer go to the heart of an issue that’s critical for job retention, job satisfaction, quality and patient care, and morale in the nursing field and other job sectors.
   
• Physician Alignment: Economics and Lessons Learned – Steve Valentine and Arby Nahapetian discuss Adventist Health’s journey towards a physicians’ network that provides resources, training, feedback and supportive professional connections.
   
• Data, Disease and Differences: Tools to Improve a Community’s Health – Kevin Barnett, Dora Barilla, Kathryn Bazylewicz, Rick Rawson and Ron Werft outline Cottage Health’s push to move the dial on community health. Focus will be on five emerging priorities: access to care, chronic conditions, behavioral health, food insecurity and housing insecurity.
