Speaker Questionnaire

What are your top priorities for employee health and well-being in 2022?

Improving access and outcomes while lowering costs.

What are the most innovative programs that you will focus on in 2022 and 2023?

Clinical blueprints for effective population health management. New technology to bridge knowledge gaps in health spend and population health strategy.

Looking at our three moonshots surrounding costs, culture, and care, which do you align with the most? What are you doing in this area?

Costs and care. We bring a stewardship-driven, transparent model to Rx access and pair it with clinical blueprints to leverage drug spend to impact high cost chronic disease.

If you could automatically receive a 25% reduction in costs in three areas/programs, what would your dream list be?

Rx and hospital care.

Is there an area where you were able to either create savings or stop costs from rising?

Yes. Rx and diabetes management.

Are you doing anything to reimagine corporate culture and wellbeing?

If there were two physical solutions that could be turned into virtual or remote care instead, what would those be?

I don't think virtual is a stand alone solution for care - it must be married with great access.

If you look at our 3 Moonshots - Costs, Culture, and Care; In one sentence, tell us what would be something positive for us to take from 2020 and bring into this new year?

Remember the mission to reach the moon? In 1962, President JFK set forth a vision. He initiated a movement that outlived him! Even in his death, the mission was accomplished seven years after his famous speech. Now we’re on a five-year mission, and it's not about us. This is a mission for you – the individual, the stakeholder, the employer healthcare and benefits professional. Join the mission to reduce costs, reimagine culture, and reinvent care.
