Looking forward to what promises to be an insightful webinar on the Affordability Accelerator Framework from our friends over at the California Improvement Network, Healthforce Center at UCSF! See below for more details.
New Webinar! Affordability Accelerator Framework: A Roadmap to Improve Patient Out-of-Pocket Costs Tuesday, October 29 12:00 – 1:00 PM Pacific Online only Health care affordability, in terms of out-of-pocket patient costs, is a leading health care concern and influencer of health status. Such unexpected costs are associated with worse patient experience, adherence to appointments and medications, and patient trust. This CIN webinar will cover the Affordability Accelerator Framework, a roadmap of opportunities to reduce out-of-pocket health care costs across the continuum of patient care. Participants will learn from presenter Reshma Gupta, MD, MSHPM about how the framework was developed and its use within health systems to implement programs providing patients guidance, financial navigation, and trust-building. This webinar is offered free of charge. We encourage participation from patient navigators and patient support staff, allied health care providers, and leaders working in health plans and other health care payor settings.
