SUMMARY:Connecticut Health Council's Annual Healthcare Summit-Strategic Collaborations for Transformative Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:This year’s summit is tailored for healthcare executives\, policymakers\, health insurance leaders\, and stakeholders seeking to deepen their knowledge of value-based care and explore how strategic collaboration can drive improved health outcomes and greater equity across the healthcare ecosystem. The event will explore the state’s initiatives\, challenges\, and collaborative opportunities to address health disparities. As providers and insurance companies focus more on overall patient well-being—beyond just treating symptoms—value-based care models are driving new approaches to improving patient outcomes. Health systems are investing in research to enhance healthcare delivery\, while also finding innovative ways to support patients with housing\, food\, and transportation to prevent larger health issues down the line. This summit will provide a platform for leaders to discuss these evolving strategies and how to work together to create a more equitable healthcare ecosystem in Connecticut. \nKeynote Address: The Intersection of Value-Based Care & Health Equity \nThe shift toward value-based payment models presents an opportunity to embed health equity into sustainable healthcare transformation.

This discussion will explore policy-driven approaches to reducing disparities\, expanding Medicaid’s role in health equity\, and fostering payer-provider community collaboration within Connecticut’s regulatory framework. \nPanel 2: Transforming Healthcare: A Payer’s Guide to Addressing Health Inequities \nSession Overview:\nAligning incentives between payers and providers under value-based care is key to improving healthcare access\, affordability\, and quality. This panel will explore how health plans are leveraging data-driven strategies\, provider partnerships\, and public health frameworks to close equity gaps and drive clinical transformation.
