The Affordable Care Act is already impacting healthcare organizations,
and they are realizing that they need innovative solutions that not only improve
patient outcomes, but fundamentally transform business objectives in order to
succeed in a value-based health care environment. Increasingly, successful delivery
systems will need to manage in a risk-based environment where measurable
improvements in population health are required.
AMGA’s Institute for Quality Leadership (IQL) is where you can find those innovations. Bringing together the best practices
from leading medical groups across the country, IQL 2014 will explore the critical competencies required of high-performing
health systems with a specific focus on managing risk and managing populations. You will come away from this conference with
the practical solutions you’ll need to make critical enhancements at your organization, regardless of size, composition, or market.
This November, you’ll learn from the organizations that are making the shift to value-based reimbursement and thriving in this
dynamic environment. These lessons will guide you to:
• Better measure and manage resource use in risk-based contracts
• Align compensation and financial incentives
• Improve outcomes for patients with chronic conditions
• Implement proven strategies to succeed in the new payment models that reward groups for delivering better care at a
lower cost
Also, new to this year’s program, AMGA will feature sessions designed specifically for the executive leaders within your medical
group or health system. While the rest of the program will focus on clinical, operations, and quality topics, this Executive
Summit will concentrate on high-level strategic and leadership issues surrounding the business operations of your healthcare
organization.
IQL 2014 is the ideal educational and networking event for the leadership suite of your organization—Chief Executive Officer/
Chair/ President; Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Operating Officer; Chief Medical Officer/Medical Director; and Quality
Director/Officer. In addition to the educational and networking opportunities in the main program, part of the conference will
feature the semi-annual meetings of the AMGA Leadership Councils representing
those roles. Council members share ideas, strategies, and information with
colleagues facing similar challenges, and council meetings provide you with
incredible value for your educational dollar and time away from the office.
Council membership is free to AMGA members.
Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to better manage risk, efficiently
manage population health, and transform your group to succeed in
the new age of Medicare Advantage and value-based health care.
The Institute for Quality Leadership
The Institute for Quality Leadership (IQL) is devoted to improving the quality of care delivered in the US healthcare
system through the advancement of knowledge and the education of healthcare professionals. The American
Medical Group Foundation (AMGF), the American Medical Group Association’s philanthropic affiliate, is the
primary supporter of the IQL Annual Conference and AMGA’s quality improvement activities. AMGF develops grant
programs, quality awards, research, and education programs and provides support for initiatives that exemplify the
continuing quest for quality care.

Highlights
General Sessions
Thursday, November 13, 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Opening of IQL 2014 and Presentation of the AMGA Acclaim Award
To kick off the meeting, the American Medical Group Foundation will present the annual Acclaim Award
to organizations that are meeting the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Aims for Improvement and are taking the
necessary steps to become a high-performing health system as defined by AMGA. Our most prestigious
quality award honors and recognizes physician-directed, patient-centered medical groups and other
organized systems of care that have embraced continuous learning and innovation in order to improve the
quality and value of the patient experience.
Skating to Where the Puck Is Going: Living, Thriving, and Growing in the
World of Value-Based Health Care
Craig Samitt, MD, MBA, President & CEO, HealthCare Partners
IQL 2014 will explore high-performing health systems with a specific focus on population health,
managing risk, system transformation, and payment reform. In this presentation, Dr. Craig Samitt will
set the stage for our conference by sharing his experience over the years as CEO of several pioneering
value-based integrated delivery systems and the innovations he predicts will drive a broader transformation of the
US health system.
Impact of Increasing Consumer Cost Share on Provider Organizations:
The Good, the Bad, and the Inevitable
James C. Robinson, PhD, MPH, Leonard D. Schaeffer Professor of Health Economics & Chair, Berkeley
Center for Health Technology, School of Public Health, Division of Health Policy and Management
Employers, payers, and providers are working to improve the efficiency of our healthcare system using
new methods of network contracting, pricing and payment, care coordination, and disease management.
These changes can’t be made without engaging patients. As they share in the cost of their care, increased transparency
will expose consumers to price differences and guide their choices in their efforts to achieve better value. In this thoughtprovoking presentation, Dr. Robinson will discuss how consumer cost-sharing can impact our healthcare system.
Friday, November 14, 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Population Health in a Managing Risk Market
David Nash, MD, MBA, Founding Dean, Jefferson School of Population Health
Imagine a physician walking into his or her primary care practice and accessing an array of tools designed
to provide the best, most cost-efficient care possible to engaged patient partners—and then receiving
a premium for achieving great outcomes. Dr. Nash thinks this scenario is on the horizon thanks to
payment reforms that reflect his “no outcomes, no income” mantra, the use of big data to understand
socioeconomic factors of health, and information technology that will allow us to create comprehensive patient registries
and to better benchmark care at the physician level.
Friday, November 14, 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Smarter Health Care: Using Technology and Incentives to Keep Patients Healthy
Paul Grundy, MD, MPH, Director, IBM Global Healthcare Transformation
In the next 10 years, we will be living in a mobile world in the middle of an epidemic of aging and
chronic disease, but we will also have data and the ability to analyze data cognitively. Dr. Grundy will
discuss emerging technology that turns data into actionable information. He will demonstrate how these
technologies and the move to the Patient-Centered Medical Home level of care are leading to teams
that deliver population health management, patient-centered prevention, and care that is coordinated, comprehensive,
accessible 24/7, and integrated across a delivery system—and how all of that is powered by data made into meaningful
information.

Embrace Change to Succeed
Dale Collie, former US Army Ranger, named by FAST COMPANY as one of
America’s Fast 50 Innovative Leaders
Dale Collie’s recovery from combat wounds and reinstatement into active military duty as an amputee serves as an
inspirational lesson in surviving physical and emotional challenges through perseverance and persistence. Dale has
found that many of these lessons—preparation, perseverance, focusing on the solution rather than the problem—
are also applicable in the healthcare environment. Learn the specific steps needed to succeed in the face of great
obstacles and how you can lead your organization through embracing the challenges ahead.
Friday, November 14, 7:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.
Leadership’s Role in Building a Culture of Safety
Moderated by: Kevin McCune, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Advocate Medical Group
This highly interactive networking breakfast will feature a presentation on Advocate Medical Group’s success in
building and sustaining a culture of patient safety. Dr. McCune will share his group’s strategies and lessons learned
along the journey, followed by an in-depth discussion on how a program like this compares to your group’s
endeavors to promote patient safety. Using Advocate Medical Group as an example, you’ll have the opportunity
to discuss how a similar program could be implemented or modified within your organization. Materials will be
distributed ahead of time in preparation for this networking discussion.

A High-Performing Health System’s Journey to Excellence
Managing Risk: How the Cleveland Clinic Has Adopted a Population Management Approach
to Increase Value in the Care of Its Employees and Their Families
This special session will feature the story of the 2014 Acclaim Award recipient. Representatives from the
esteemed organization will describe their journey towards becoming a high-performing health system and explore their
winning initiative and the elements that made it successful. AMGA’s most prestigious quality award, the Acclaim Award
is presented annually by the American Medical Group Foundation, honoring physician-directed organizations that bring
the American healthcare system closer to a delivery model in which patients experience care that is safer, more reliable,
more responsive, more integrated, and more readily available.

James Gutierrez, MD, FACP, Chair, Community Internal Medicine, Bruce Rogen, MD, MPH, FACP, Chief Medical Officer,
Employee Health, and Patty Zirm, RN, BSN, MPH, Senior Director, Employee Health Plans, Cleveland Clinic
The Cleveland Clinic is the largest employer in Northeast Ohio and is self-insured for healthcare coverage for its
employees and their dependents. The clinic has implemented a comprehensive, population-based approach to
improving quality of care while reducing healthcare costs by tightly integrating and coordinating wellness programs,
chronic condition management, and Patient-Centered Primary Care Medical Homes. As a result of this collaboration,
there has been a significant improvement in healthcare outcomes for employees and their families, along with a
substantial reduction in healthcare costs. Presenters will describe how the program is serving as a model for the ongoing
implementation of population management strategies for the clinic’s broader patient population.

Sorom, MD, FACP, Physician Manager Department of Internal Medicine, General Internist, Timothy Barnwell, MD,
Anesthesiologist, and Marcus Miller, MHA, Director Contact Center/Population Health, Confluence Health
Optimizing medical risk for elective surgical patients with chronic medical problems is an age-old difficulty. Confluence
Health found failures in this arena occurred in three basic ways: the surgeon not recognizing the risk; the primary care
physician not adequately preparing for risk that was recognized; and critical communication failures among care team
members and between care venues. Through creative use of electronic health record tools and an innovative staffing
model, Confluence Health developed a novel system to reliably address these failure points. The session will detail key
features of this “virtual pre-op clinic.”

Advanced Illness Management Executive, Sutter Care at Home, Sutter Health
The Advanced Illness Management (AIM®) program is a patient-centered, evidenced-based care management program
for persons whose life expectancy is 12-18 months. The session will review Sutter Health’s impetus for developing the
program and the systems approach to designing a new care model. Presenters will outline the characteristics of the AIM
model of care, including building a virtual care team across the continuum and effective patient engagement strategies,
and will share program outcomes on utilization, cost of care, and satisfaction. They also will review the challenges,
opportunities, and next steps in advancing the model.

Data-Driven Healthcare Transformation: Population Health Analytics as the Foundation
for Primary Care Redesign
Sylvia Meltzer, MD, Medical Group Opps and Optimization Director, Laura Spurr, Senior Project Manager, and Jenifer
Tenhover, RN, Senior Project Manager, Aurora Health Care
Predictive analytics and population health form the foundation for Primary Care Redesign at Aurora Healthcare. This
session will provide an overview of the process Aurora is using to risk-stratify their patients with chronic illnesses and
apply appropriate interventions based on risk state. Areas of focus include: heart failure and COPD risk populations;
optimal utilization of patient-centered medical home nurses and building non-traditional primary care teams; developing
a self-improving culture; implementing broad change across a large organization; and ROI in quality as well as financial
opportunities. Presenters will provide concrete tactics and processes to achieve improvements in care and operational
practice, and discuss challenges, lessons learned, and next steps.

Network, and Alan J. Shatzel, Jr., DO Chairman, Department
of Medicine, Medical Director, Dignity Health Neurological
Institute, Medical Director, Dignity Health Telemedicine
Network, Mercy Medical Group, Inc. (CA)
Health systems across the country are beginning to understand
the value proposition for telehealth and telemedicine service
delivery as new economic drivers incentivize population
management, quality outcomes, and better value. Many,
however, have no or minimal experience in development,
implementation, and maintenance of a highly effective,
multiple-specialty telemedicine network. Over the last five
years, Dignity Health Telemedicine Network has managed
change and innovation while rapidly adopting new technology
for care delivery across the entire continuum. Presenters
will discuss Quality Metrics & Outcome Measures including
dashboard development and continuous quality improvement
and feedback tools utilized to manage and improve their
telemedicine network.
“I look forward to attending the IQL because
the focus of the meeting is really about
improving the quality of care that we deliver to
our patients. I usually ask a few of our younger
clinicians who are beginning to demonstrate
leadership potential to accompany me. They
uniformly return to our organization with a
