Speaker with Lunch
This year, we are excited to have
Meredith Rosenthal, associate profes-
sor of health economics at the Harvard
School of Public Health, as our speaker
on Wednesday, August 5, from 12:30
p.m. to 1:50 p.m. Rosenthal, a leading
expert in provider payment and pay
for performance, will give a talk titled
“Aligning Provider Incentives: Pay for
Performance and Beyond.”
At the beginning of the decade, the
Institute of Medicine shone an unfavor-
able spotlight on the health care reim-
bursement system in the United States,
highlighting its perverse reinforcement
of patterns of care that result in high
costs and patient harm. Since that time,
there has been a surge in the adoption of
performance-based incentives by a vari-
ety of payers. Experimentation with and
debate about pay for performance has
had an important side effect: renewed
interest in broader payment reforms. In
this presentation, Rosenthal will describe
her experience with pay for performance
and survey the landscape of subsequent
provider payment innovations in the
United States (or renovations, perhaps).
She will conclude with a discussion of
