Target Audience

All current and prospective students, alumni, faculty, advisory boards, DMU Board of Directors, members of the Des Moines and central Iowa health care community (health systems, long term care, ACOs, payers, etc.), clinical/non-clinical, influencers, etc.  

Purpose

The launch of health insurance marketplaces, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) and the broader shift in payment models from fee-for-service to value-based care have spurred provider health systems to explore a variety of risk models, including establishing Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and/or their own provider-sponsored health insurance plans (PSPs). What components and practices characterize the top performers among these plans? Join Deloitte Consulting and Des Moines University’s master of health care administration (MHA) program to find out with a keynote and panel of local experts in the field.

The free event also will celebrate the MHA program’s accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME), the only organization recognized to grant accreditation to individual academic programs offering professional master’s degrees in the field. This prestigious credential is the “gold standard” that assures students that DMU’s M.H.A. program has achieved the highest standards in its purpose, curriculum, the student experience and the success of its graduates in a competitive job market.

DMU’s MHA program is in the top quartile of such programs in the U.S. and Canada and one of only two in Iowa that are CAHME-accredited.

Plan to join us for a lively and provocative discussion, a celebration of DMU’s educational and professional excellence, an option for continuing medical education credit and a great opportunity to network with diverse health care professionals.
