With the passing of the United States healthcare reform bill, the 2010 World Health Care Congress (WHCC) conference marked the first post-reform gathering of the nation's top healthcare executives from all industry sectors. Global thought leaders and key decision makers gathered to share global best practices and exchange valuable strategies to improve quality and cost-effectiveness.
During the conference, a correspondent for the WHCC spoke with Steve Rohleder, group chief executive of Accenture’s Health & Public Service operating group. In this podcast, you’ll hear Mr. Rohleder’s thoughts on solutions for managing the costs of healthcare:
- Incent for outcomes vs. quantity of treatments.
- Standardize treatments.
- Public health awareness of illness.
He also discusses Accenture’s role in automation; electronic medical records and health information exchanges; and what lessons can be learned from existing healthcare models.
