Health Management Programs as Collaborative Enterprise
(PDF download) |
In 2006 the Boston Consortium began to explore ways to reduce the rise in health benefit cost without further degrading existing benefit plans. What began as an exercise in wellness efforts has evolved to a statistically derived health intervention consistent with HIPPA constraints. The webinar will share the Boston Consortium experience and aid those who might be thinking about collective health efforts within their own consortium.
