Kick-off session is July 13 for ‘Defining the Medical Arms Race Syndrome’ series
The National Institute of Health Policy will host a series of dialogues during the upcoming months to better understand the Medical Arms Race Syndrome (MARS) – the interplay between technological innovation, market forces, the role of government and rising health care costs.
The kick-off event for this series will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday, July 13, in the great room, Opus Hall, Minneapolis campus. The title of the session is “Introduction and Launch of the ‘Medical Arms Race Syndrome’: Where Will It Lead and Do We Want to Go There?”
Cost of the kick-off event is $25.
This session will provide a history of decision-making and regulation, as well as the current realities for decision-makers today. The event will end with small work groups, sharing ideas and creating a roadmap for the series.
The series will use NIHP’s neutral, multi-stakeholder forum to highlight the policy barriers and opportunities embedded in the health care technology revolution. It will culminate in a national conference that will focus on the future of health care organizations and the promise of technology for changing where and how health care is delivered.
