Registration open for second annual Healthier Washington Symposium

A key opportunity for health care stakeholders will occur on October 19 at the second annual Healthier Washington Symposium in SeaTac. The symposium is part of a two-day event, A Commitment to Value, which will focus on ways we can collectively commit to value-based purchasing, payment, and care delivery, and better understand our respective roles in moving value-based strategies from concept to practice.

In addition to plenary sessions from leaders across the health system, breakout sessions are designed to stimulate challenging discussions and produce concrete action items for attendees ready to take next steps. Breakout session topics include:

• Social determinants of health
• Social impact investment and financing approaches
• Consumer engagement and health literacy
• Shared decision making
• Adopting best practices for a value-based delivery system
• Health equity

A Purchaser Conference on October 18 will precede the symposium, bringing purchasers together with providers and other health care stakeholders from around the state to learn, collaborate and engage about advancing value-based purchasing.

We welcome committed individuals to register for one, or both days of the event.
