Thursday, April 28, 1:00 to 2:00 PM PT
A foundational element to building a successful company is strong leadership, which goes beyond a company’s management team to include its board of directors. The primary role of a company’s board of directors is to provide corporate oversight and governance for management and to represent shareholders’ interests. However, an effective board can also contribute to a company’s vision and strategy and ensure alignment on the vision for the business.
This session will discuss key considerations for entrepreneurs when building a board of directors as well as best practices for aligning incentives and engaging both independent and investor directors to maximize value for all shareholders.

How to Ensure You Are Paid for the Value You Create
Speaker: Ian Duncan, Santa Barbara Actuaries
Thursday, March 31, 1:00 to 2:00 PM PT
Value-based contracts impose risk both on providers and payers. The appropriate structure of a contract is an important component of mitigating your risk as a provider and ensuring that you are paid correctly for the value that you create for a payer. Similarly, a payer wants to be sure that it pays for value and does not over-compensate the provider. The variability inherent in populations and claims, however, poses a risk for the parties. We will discuss different outcomes evaluation methodologies in value-based care contracts. Additionally, we will review a study of variability in outcomes in an accountable care organization contract that shows a considerable risk of under-or over-payment and discuss methods to mitigate the risk to the parties.
