Delivering the Vision of Comprehensive Health Services in Rural Iowa

The Public Policy Center is co-sponsoring "Delivering the Vision of Comprehensive Health Services in Rural Iowa," University of Iowa's Rebalancing Health Care in the Heartland Forum 9 and Iowa Rural Health Association 2016 Annual Conference on Thursday, Dec. 1. 

Health care delivery throughout the country and Iowa is undergoing rapid and significant transformation. In addition to expanding coverage to millions of previously uninsured individuals, the ACA ushered in a new era of delivery system reform focused on value-based care versus volume and fee for service payment that will impact all of Iowa's rural and urban providers.

This year, the University of Iowa and the Iowa Rural Health Association have partnered to host an educational conference to address these changes as they affect Iowa's health system and rural communities. Join us as we bring together local and national providers and health policy experts to discuss the impact new alternative payment models, the expansion of telehealth, and the Medicare Access & CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) enacted last year by Congress will have on a rural state like Iowa.
