The theme for this year’s conference "Cutting the Gordian Knot" which refers to a legend associated with Alexander the Great and which is a metaphor for an intractable problem solved by a bold stroke.
The private healthcare industry is being faced with a variety of legislative and policy changes which will almost certainly affect the structure and operations of the funding sector. The conference programme, therefore, has been composed to reflect the policy and legislative issues and to adequately address scheme issues, medical schemes have put forward topics which are pertinent to the industry currently.
The opening session will be dedicated to setting the tone for the rest of the conference and will examine health the vision for the private funding sector in SA, given the government’s stated objective of a NHI.
Thereafter sessions will take the format of interactive and parallel sessions which will examine and seek industry resolutions on issues relating to;
- The Healthcare Policy Direction for South Africa
- NHI in the Social Security Context
- Positioning medical schemes to take on NHI
- Solvency – A need for review?
- Public Private Initiatives - Utilising scheme reserves for the provision
of healthcare through PPIs - Managing non-healthcare costs
- Healthcare Quality
- Reducing non-healthcare costs through the prevention of fraud and abuse
- The long-term cross-subsidy liability in schemes – are schemes under funded?
- Industry analysis
- The NHRPL
