Behavioral Health Market Disruption – 2018 OPEN MINDS Strategy & Innovation Institute To Focus On Emerging Innovations & Value-Based Models Creating Industry Makeover

After Record Sell-Out At 2017 OPEN MINDS Technology & Informatics Institute, Registration Opened Early For June’s OPEN MINDS Strategy & Innovation Institute In New Orleans

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (November 12, 2017) — OPEN MINDS has announced that the will once again return to the Four Points by Sheraton French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana on June 5-6, 2018. This year’s expanded program will focus on the emerging innovations that are disrupting today’s behavioral health market – and the new business models needed to succeed in the disrupted, value-based environment.

“More managed care, more value-based contracting, and more focus on integration and care coordination – all of these factors combined means that the traditional roles of health plans and provider organizations are changing,“ said Monica E. Oss, Chief Executive Officer, OPEN MINDS. “Health plans are shifting from carve-out by specialty, to carve-out by consumer type. The role of care coordination and population management is moving from health plans to provider organizations. Because of this, there is a blurring of the lines between health plans and provider organizations through acquisitions or gain-sharing agreements.”

For the last seven years, the OPEN MINDS Strategy and Innovation Institute has helped executives to develop and refine their value proposition, re-frame market challenges into opportunities, and build innovation-competent organizations. Competitive advantage in a performance-based market depends on the ability of organizations to innovate and take successful innovation to scale. This year, this institute is focused on cutting edge innovations and feature executive faculty who have made those innovations an asset in developing next generation business models and sustainable strategy. Keynote speakers, sessions, and events will be announced in the coming weeks.
