Overview:
Legislative briefing features a discussion moderated by Christopher Queram, CEO of the Wisconsin Collaborative for Health Care Quality. Speakers include Julie Bartels, Wisconsin Health Information Organization; La Follette School alum Lisa Ellinger, Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds; and Jonathan Jaffery, chief medical director of Medicaid and BadgerCare programs for the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. They will discuss how the State of Wisconsin uses WHIO data to improve quality and efficiency and how these major investments position Wisconsin for the next chapter in health-care reform. The State of Wisconsin is a major direct purchaser of health-care services through Medicaid/BadgerCare and insurance coverage for state employees, giving it enormous leverage to steer the market toward value-based benefit designs and effective service delivery. The state also contributes to the WHIO data warehouse.
