What Keeps Us Up at Night? The Medicare population will increase by 86 million people over the next 10 years. ACA will expand Medicaid by 38%. This has major regulatory and financial implications starting now. Disruptive innovation is all around us. Are we disrupting ourselves enough to be relevant to the new markets? Lack of timely innovation in product development Motivation of the practice to change Our market is consolidating. We must go in with a full product spectrum to allow flexibility and competitiveness. Large self insured employers are our market. They may move to defined contribution insurance for their employees. Then what? Do we have a strategy to be visible to large employers? We must define specific measures that matter to them to differentiate us from others. We haven t differentiated our quality We must accelerate our move to population health. We do not have a robust position that reduces variation in our practice. The key is competitive relevance for our patients, their employers, government, and our own staff Mayo Clinic Payer Relations Workgroup discussion 8/2013 2014 MFMER slide-10
