Assignment: Perspectives (Individual)
TIME: 30 minutes
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your own personal whiteboard panel and create a model that communicates your ideas for how Florida achieved the future described below.
CONTEXT: The year is 2012. In the last decade, spending for health care services outstripped projections and has risen from $1.4 trillion in 2001 to $3.1 trillion in 2012. As a percentage of the country’s gross national product, health care has increased from 14.1% in 2001 to 17.7% in 2012.
Once again the health care system remains at the top of the social agenda for all parties, with 76% of the US population ranking the issue as “critical”. Price transparency and quality of care are top of mind.
In the media, Florida is cited repeatedly as the leader in providing a transparent, open marketplace to encourage both the health of its citizens and growth of its local and state health care economy. Florida’s health care market is one of the most efficient in the country and is feeding the boomer services economy.
The plans and priorities that emerged from the Advisory Committee—way back in 2007—are recognized as instrumental in the implementation and effectiveness of the State’s health care delivery system.
QUESTIONS: Looking back, define the major milestones for the last five years
(2007-2012):
-
What was your personal role in this project? Did any of your “dreams come true”?
-
What new business models rose out of the drive for transparency? What enabled these types of models and others?
-
What is the meaning of “quality” and “transparency” for you? How have these definitions lasted the test of time for you? Your constituents? The health care stakeholders – Payers? Providers? Patients?
-
What were the critical health care issues facing the State? How were they addressed?
-
How is quality currently measured in 2012? How has this current model emerged?
-
What “rules of the road” (from your experience with government and industry) helped create a useful and workable vision uniting economic and social differences?
-
Describe which tools you personally have found most helpful in making value decisions about your health care in 2012?
-
What major shifts occurred in the public arena in terms of laws, policies, regulations, public opinion or unforeseen events on the local and national stage?
-
Why is Florida able to succeed where other states have failed?
