Quality Benefits at a Reasonable Cost -- Can It Be Done?
Come hear how the Group Insurance Commission of Massachusetts plans to do it for their 250,000 state employees, retirees, and their dependents

The Rhode Island Business Group on Health and Mercer Health & Benefits invite you to a attend a breakfast meeting on December 14th to hear how our neighbors in Massachusetts are improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare in their state – and talk with our state leadersabout how we might be able to accomplish the same thing in Rhode Island.
 
Dolores L. Mitchell, Executive Director of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Group Insur-
ance Commission (GIC) will introduce us to their groundbreaking efforts to end the cycle of plan design changes and cost-shifting in favor of an improved health care delivery system for their members, at a reasonable cost.
 
Come hear Dolores discuss the GIC’s Clinical Performance Improvement (CPI) initiative, a sweeping change in which the GIC partners with Health Plans to aggregate data, make provider comparisons publicly available, and encourage their members to be more involved in their health care decisions.
 
Dolores will be joined by Dr. David Gregg, Principal with Mercer Health & Benefits, who will discuss how all Rhode Island employers could benefit from initiatives like CPI, where Health Plans implement solutions driven by the State to benefit the commercial market.
 
This presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with our speakers along with Rhode Island State officials to discuss how we can explore a similar initiative in Rhode Island.
  
Please join us for this timely and important discussion.
