McKesson Health Solutions Conference underway

The 28th annual McKesson Health Solutions Conference  (MHSC) kicked off Monday at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

More than 300 health care professionals from leading payers and providers will engage in networking, learning and focusing on a better future for health care at the conference that runs through Thursday.

“Our industry is undergoing unprecedented change driven by an accelerated shift to value-based reimbursement and a focus on increased consumer responsibility,” McKesson Health Solutions President Rod O’Reilly said. “MHSC is a unique opportunity to bring our customers together with McKesson’s clinical, legislative and technology experts (and) to learn from each other about ways to be successful in this new environment.”

The event brings payers and providers together amid an industry backdrop that includes a shift to value-based care, unprecedented consolidation, continued regulatory demands and the ongoing redefinition of the consumer’s role in health care.

McKesson executives and customers from top hospitals and health plans will tackle these issues and more by sharing ideas, experiences and best practices for simplifying and transforming reimbursement with the new health care consumer in mind.
