Innovation Incubator

More payers are moving from fee-for-service reimbursement to a pay-for-value business model - a significant change which impacts payers, health plans, and provider organizations alike.  During this Innovation Incubator session, OPEN MINDS CEO Monica E. Oss will provide an update on the move to value-based purchasing across the health and human service field, and four executives - payer executives with pay-for-performance initiatives and provider executives who are making these initiatives work for them - will provide their perspectives on the challenges of the evolving value-based purchasing business model and the opportunities for gaining market share through success with these initiatives.

Welcome Reception

Enjoy this casual first evening get together - a chance to meet new colleagues and  visit with long time friends.

Welcome and Annual Meeting

Losing Tim:
Why Working B4Stage4 Is How We’ll Change Minds and Find Him Again

Presenter:   Paul Gionfriddo, CEO, Mental Health America

Tim Gionfriddo is one of the 6% - those with serious and persistent mental illnesses.  They are frequently lost to our system of care and when they are not, they are often trapped in a stagnant cycle of recidivism that too frequently leads to tragic outcomes and early death. Tim’s symptoms, like those of most people with serious mental illnesses, emerged during childhood and led him down a pathway to hospitalization, incarceration, and homelessness.  Paul Gionfriddo will discuss how this sequence of events unfolded for his son and how it unfolds for so many like him.  He will describe the public policies that got us where we are today and how they need to be changed.  Finally, he will discuss how Mental Health America’s B4Stage4 initiatives can be used by providers and advocates together to employ earlier and more effective interventions, to promote recovery as we do with every other chronic disease, and to change the trajectories of lives like Tim’s for the better.
