Description: How does where you live impact your health? The following research considers this question through the lens of social determinants of health (SDOH), which are factors relating to where you live or work that may impact your health. In the United States, there are geographical differences in SDOH which contribute to wide disparities in health status and outcomes. In particular, individuals who are negatively affected by SDOH may have an increased burden of disease, leading to a relatively high total cost of care and worse quality of life.

Description: This is a case study session where the speakers will describe a project where a major health system converted its provider distinct reimbursement (i.e., separate physician IPA and hospital capitation) to an integrated reimbursement involving global capitation. The session will discuss the strategic issues considered by the parties and how they evaluated them in their decision process. This session will provide attendees an example of how to approach this type of decision.
