Leveraging Health: Current Impact of Value Based Design 

• Impact of VBD in leveraging change in wellness, chronic care management, and care delivery
• Detailed findings and lessons learned from important new VBD employers survey 
• Impact of the economy on health behaviors, and on employer VBD strategies
• The effect the macro-levers used in the value-based design survey had on patient behavior 
• Key benefit design opportunities by using value-based benefit design

The Center For Health Value Innovation and Buck Consultants have released the findings of plan sponsors who have had a value-based benefit design in place for 2 years or more. During this session, attendees will learn about Value Based Design, including the health and cost impact that has been seen over time by plan sponsors. Additionally, attendees will learn the most effective strategies and actions to take when implementing these types of innovative programs, and how to take them! The discussion will revolve around: 

• "What is Value-Based Benefit Design?" 
• "Why we will want Executive Support"
• "How to avoid the common mistakes often made by plan sponsors when implementing these programs"
• "What impact has the economic situation had on the use of value-based benefit designs?"
• "How do levers support better outcomes for consumers, plan sponsors and providers?"
• Finally, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the member and provider impact these programs can have.

The Center for Health Value Innovation (CHVI), a collaborative community of stakeholders, led by employers of all sizes and sectors who are improving health status while reducing total cost trends using value-based designs and Buck Consultants have published the first survey on Value-Based Design impact, detailing the history, success, challenges, and methodology used by employers and health plan sponsors. The survey is the most comprehensive of its kind in the industry, studying 100 employers in 16 major industries, reporting on more than 1 million covered lives, including retirees. The respondents were chosen for their longevity of health plan design and the results confirm the earlier tracking from the Center. 

Building from these important detailed survey results, this webinar offers critical employer insights into what is working, what could have been better, and how the levers of prevention/wellness, chronic care management, and care delivery are delivering improvement even in the economic downturn.
