This webinar features the results of a scoring exercise Altarum conducted that emulates consumers' real-world experience of using price and quality transparency tools when making decisions about health care.

Altarum will present findings from an evaluation of 16 state programs to improve oral health services for pregnant women and infants.

Altarum experts will be participating in two sessions, facilitating a one-day workshop on WIC retention strategies and leading another session on integrating substance use disorder interventions into non-traditional settings.

Like drugs, pricing information for medical devices is opaque. Advocates have long had safety concerns about devices, calling for reforms to the FDA’s regulatory process. In this webinar you will learn about the pricing and marketing parallels between drugs and medical devices, as well as the key issues surrounding medical device safety.

Join us at the HIMSS19 Interoperability Showcase to see our latest innovations in exchanging and using data in real time to improve care, outcomes, and experience.

Please join the Healthcare Value Hub on January 11 for our webinar, A Spotlight on the Virginia Center for Health Innovation. Beth Bortz, the President and CEO of the Virginia Center for Health Innovation will speak to how the Center’s unique public/private partnership gives them the ability to leverage state-wide data to make evidence-based, value driven policy. Ms. Bortz will describe the Center’s new dashboard tool which aims to use data to reduce low value care, increase high value care and improve the state’s infrastructure for value based care. Advocates can use this model to learn best practices for implementing a strong data collection and analytic system to improve healthcare value in their own states.

This webinar describes a first-of-its kind, comprehensive database of 230 transparency tools in four categories: hospital, Rx, doctor, and health plan. The database is easily searchable by state and is accompanied by a report that summarizes key findings from the inventory and offers best practices and recommendations for states to consider.

Altarum will be presenting on a variety of topics at the APHA annual meeting in San Diego, including how to improve patient experience in military treatment facilities, how to integrate oral health into perinatal care for maternal and child health populations, and how to conduct a community assessment of the opioid crisis.
