<div>Hi Fellows and List Serve Members: I am passing along a new resource that will help you stay abreast of the executive branch’s national health reform efforts. The HHS Office of Health Care Reform, led by Nancy Ann Deparle, has a web site that features
a weekly update on reform efforts and links to reports on access/quality/cost issues: <a href="http://www.healthreform.gov/"><font color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.healthreform.gov/</u></font></a> </div>
<div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; "><i><b>The Dollars and Sense of Prevention:</b></i><i><b> </b></i><i><b>A Primer for Health Policy Makers</b></i>, hosted by The Center for Studying Health System Change, will be held Monday morning, June 8
at the Marriot Metro Center, Washington, D.C. According to the HSC website, “the conference,<font face="Times New Roman, serif" size="3"> </font>moderated by HSC President Paul B. Ginsburg, Ph.D., will provide a primer on the potential of prevention and improved
care for patients with chronic conditions to add value to the health system.” Mark Fendrick, M.D., will participate in a panel; some of you Fellows will remember Dr. Fendrick’s lively session during the <i>Policy and Politics</i> seminars in which he advocated
for value-based insurance design. There is no registration fee. <a href="http://www.hschange.org/index.cgi?conf=show&what=26"><font color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.hschange.org/index.cgi?conf=show&what=26</u></font></a> </div>
