Description: Actuaries are increasingly being called upon to advise management about the value of medical management programs and interventions. This session discusses disease management outcome measurements and the cost vs value issues. From the Record of the Society of Actuaries, Volume 30, No. 1, Session 111

Description: Research project that reviewed and inventoried the range of quality and efficiency measures currently available.

Description: This is the inventory part of the report from the research project that reviewed and inventoried the range of quality and efficiency measures currently available for healthcare. The goal was to outline key areas of quality and efficiency measurement and identify future opportunities for actuaries. The inventory lists the resources and provides brief descriptions of their services with links.
