Workshop Agenda
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
The workshop presentations and discussion will explore the following:
- The rationale for addressing wasteful health care expenditures (HCEs), including opportunity costs such as investing in public health infrastructure and education, among other social determinants of health;
- National, state, and local frameworks and models for improving U.S. parity with comparable OECD nations in HCEs, including work of states in setting targets for health care cost growth;
- Strategies to reframe the narrative to further the goal of reducing HCEs (the total cost of health); and
- Research, including modeling, needed to be done to inform community-level investments once HCEs are decreased to achieve better health, well-being and equity.
