Annual Wharton Health Care Business Conference

02/01/2022

We’re excited to announce our first panel for the conference taking place next week (2/10-2/11), titled “From Volume to Value to Equity: How Value-Based Care Can Create a More Inclusive Health Care System!” Our esteemed panelists Rushika Fernandopulle of One Medical; Lee Fleisher of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; Sally Poblete of Circulo Health; Jesse Roach, MD of CVS Health Kidney Care; and Dan R. Trigub of MedArrive will have a conversation moderated by Oak Street Health’s Sandy Varatharajah.

Disparities in health care access have been a long-standing problem and have only been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the use of big data, proactive screenings, hybrid care models, and other innovative solutions, value-based care is uniquely positioned to reduce these disparities. This panel will feature a discussion with health care leaders who are taking steps to create a more equitable and inclusive value-based care system.
