Program Description:
What does the future of healthcare look like; what are the current trends and how should our strategies respond? During this meeting, we will review the findings of Mercer’s annual survey detailing the current employer health care environment: how we got here and where were going. We will review the actions taken by employers to better manage their health care costs through basic and innovative advanced strategies. The results of the annual Mercer Survey will help you better understand the future of health care including the impact of customer directed health plans, sky-rocketing pharmacy costs and private exchanges.
You will learn how to:
- Better understand the broader health care market
- Review actions taken by employers to manage plan costs
- Examine emerging trends and innovative programs
- Assist employers to prepare for future changes in health
