5th NATIONAL MEDICAL BANKING INSTITUTE                                  

March 5-7, 2007

Marietta, GA

Registration | Agenda | Location & Lodging | Sponsorship

The 5th National Medical Banking Institute offers a compelling view of the future of healthcare by inviting the bank into our national dialogue to improve health. We will hear new areas of thinking about how the bank can leverage its resources to support much needed advances in financing and operations. We will also hear case studies of how banks are reducing costs and creating incentives for improving systems at the healthcare provider level.

Plenary sessions will examine how employers are impacting a new paradigm in healthcare delivery, new ways banks are partnering with healthcare plans and insurers and the "megacommunity" model. The Institute has organized five educational tracks that offer case studies, panels and expert presentations that feature national authorities and innovators from the banking, healthcare, IT/consulting and employer domains. Some of the models we will explore include:

Value in Health

A Bank-Driven eHealth Ecosystem

Consumer-Driven Healthcare Liquidity

Community Care Platform

We will open with a "big idea" from a new Joint Taskgroup for Value in Health sponsored by the Medical Banking Project and the 1600 employer-strong Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG). "Value In Health" looks beyond cost reduction in healthcare to how banks can add value as an economic imperative. Hear a panel of global employers from the automotive and pharmaceutical industries, as well as provider and insurer organizations who support this growing initiative.

Our Medical Banking 101 Track will showcase MBProject workgroup efforts. We'll hear an update of the C.O.M.B.A.T. Initiative, examine emerging legal issues in health data management and healthcare liquidity and more. During these sessions attendees can become part of the national process by entering comments that will be incorporated into our 3rd edition of A Medical Banking Road Map for America - a combined Institute proceedings and medical banking advisory for policy makers, commerce and academia.

We will review the best thinking for creating a clinical messaging system (ONCHIT, eHealth Initiative, HIMSS) and outline a governance framework for a bank-driven model (see materials from Vanderbilt Center for Better Health's recent Privacy and Confidentiality Workshop). One idea being advanced by MBProject is a program that links treasury management and online banking platforms to provide the connective tissue of a community system. Another idea, which can be complimentary, is the "Health Record Bank", and we'll hear a panel examine the Independent Health Record Bank Act of 2006.

Both our new President's Council and the staff at MBProject look forward to welcoming you in Marietta, GA in 2007!
