The session will focus on a new study appearing in the April 2022 issue of Health Affairs, “Health-Related Social Needs Among Older Adults Enrolled In Medicare Advantage (MA).” Authors Brian W. Powers and Stephanie M. Franklin, both of Humana, will present the findings of a large, national survey of older adults enrolled in MA, which found a high burden of health-related social needs, including financial strain, food insecurity, and poor housing quality, as well as significant disparities according to race, socioeconomic status, and sex. They will be joined by Monica E. Peek of the University of Chicago, a frequent Health Affairs contributor, whose work – including the 2021 Forefront article, “As They Take On Food Insecurity, Community-Based Health Care Organizations Have Found Four Strategies That Work” -- explores many of the same issues.

When it comes to providing meaningful support to consumers, patient services are on the front line. Recent data shows that patients’ interest in support services has reached an unprecedented high since the pandemic, but wavering trust in pharma companies is creating a barrier to service utilization and adherence.

Longstanding healthcare industry inefficiencies lead to affordability, outcome, quality challenges, and poor consumer experiences. The healthcare industry has been among the last to adopt experiential digitization that consumers have become accustomed to in other areas of their life. Meanwhile, healthcare regulatory changes call for health data interoperability and greater price transparency for consumers. These imperatives will require healthcare stakeholders to collaborate much more closely for the benefit of the patient. With our panel of experts and leaders across healthcare, biopharma, and high tech, we will explore these industry dynamics and discuss how this dynamic will change the rules of engagement within the industry. We will discuss the role technology can play in bringing stakeholders together, and in turn, explore and define any obvious areas where collaboration is a win-win opportunity and be open about where challenges will continue to arise.
