During the talk, you’ll hear from three key groups:
PATIENTS
Nearly six million Americans suffer from CHF, and an additional 555,000 are diagnosed with it each year. Lee Satterfield, a District of Columbia Superior Court judge will discuss his experience living with CHF and its impact on his daily life.
PROVIDERS
CHF is a complicated condition that requires care and diligent monitoring by an entire team of specialists. Physicians from the University of Colorado Hospital and Duke University Health System will discuss how they’ve optimized CHF care, and how those innovations aligned with new payment models.
POLICY EXPERTS
CHF is also the leading cause of hospitalizations for adults over 65, and accounts for billions of dollars in annual health care costs. Mai Pham from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation will talk about the role of payment reform for CHF care, and the impact it can have on care delivery and costs.
