Key Note Speakers

Ford  Koles, Jr., one of the country's preeminent thought leaders in the area of health system economics and strategy, will be joining us from the Advisory Board on Thursday.  Koles is well-versed in health care history and the many reform initiatives we have lived through in the past three decades: coverage expansion; vertical integration and physician partnership models; managed care and payer contracting; horizontal integration and system economies of scale; and quality-based payment.  His valuable insights will spur attendees into action!
