How can we create a high-value healthcare system that purchasers, providers and patients can all support, and, at the same time control the rising costs of healthcare? That’s the focus of our next breakfast forum on June 24 at the Multnomah Athletic Club. The event gets underway at 6:45 a.m., and runs until 9:15. We expect a sold-out crowd so register early. It’s an event you won’t want to miss.
To delve into this pivotal issue, Oregon Health Forum is bringing a national expert to town -- Harold Miller, President and CEO of the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform, as our keynote speaker.
An adjunct professor of public policy and management at Carnegie Mellon University, Miller is a nationally-recognized expert on healthcare payment and delivery reform. He has twice given invited testimony to Congress on how to reform healthcare payment, he has worked in more than 40 states and metropolitan regions to help physicians, hospitals, employers, health plans, and government agencies design and implement payment and delivery system reforms, and he assisted the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services with the implementation of its Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative in 2012. Miller is also one of the eleven members of the federal Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee that was created by Congress to advise the Secretary of Health and Human Services on the creation of alternative payment models.
In his talk, Miller will explain the latest CMS initiatives including the new MACRA legislation, Comprehensive Primary Care Plus and other new innovations in payment reform, and share his perspective about the unique opportunities and barriers in Oregon and provide recommendations for how employers, physicians, hospitals, and other stakeholders can use the provisions in federal law and regulations to support success in Oregon.

- Brian DeVore, Vice President, National Healthcare, Thought Leader
- James Raussen, Administrator, Oregon Educators Benefit Board
