Part I

Reframing the Plan

Shift from insurance renewal to healthcare management.

Employer questions

Use the ideas in the room.

  • What are we actually managing: a renewal, or a healthcare system?
  • Which outcomes should leadership own beyond premium trend?

Part perspective

A management lens for this work.

This part establishes the leadership shift behind a High Performance Health Plan: stop treating healthcare as an annual insurance event and begin managing it as a system of financing, care, experience and accountability.

Put this part to work

  1. 01Name the business outcomes the health plan should improve.
  2. 02Assign clear ownership for the plan's major decisions.
  3. 03Replace one renewal-only assumption with a year-round review.
