The rest of our time will feature enlightening topics and presentations to help us envision where the next decade of healthcare innovation will lead — and how to prepare for it.

Complimentary Webinar
Employer Case Study:
Designing Benefits that Support Women's Health
June 20, 2024 | noon-12:30 p.m. (ET)
| |
Lumen Technologies fosters a diverse and inclusive culture through its employee resource groups (ERGs), such as Women Empowered. Participants have opportunities to network, mentor, and take advantage of professional development opportunities, as well as raise awareness and advocate for issues that matter to them.
Lumen's premise is that women's health and wellbeing is not only a personal matter, but also a business imperative. Healthy, happy employees are more productive, engaged and innovative, contributing to their own success and that of their families, communities, and the company and its customers.
| |
This event will conclude with an interactive Q&A.

Sage Transparency™ Relaunches with New Features and New RAND Hospital Price Data

Employers’ Forum of Indiana, a National Alliance member coalition, introduced Sage Transparency™ 2.0, a major update to the free, publicly accessible hospital price and quality dashboard, earlier this month at the National Healthcare Price Transparency Conference in Indianapolis.
Sage Transparency, which was first made available in 2022, is a browser-based dashboard that helps inform employers, policymakers, and more on the real prices that employers pay for hospital services across the country.

New Fertility and Family-Building Toolkit for Purchasers | |
|
|
|
For employers who are committed to whole person health, productivity, and the bottom line, it’s clear that fertility and family-building benefits are an important component of any health and wellbeing strategy.
Delivered effectively, comprehensive fertility and family-building benefits can reduce downstream healthcare costs driven by high-risk maternity and costly NICU claims and can also play a key role in an employer’s recruitment and retention strategy.
The Fertility and Family-Building Toolkit from Midwest Business Group on Health helps employers evaluate, understand, and implement solutions to enhance high-value benefits.
