Lonny Reisman - AETNA:

Tiered Networks as an emerging standard. Constrained networks (to ACO as most constrained) driving quality improvements.

AETNA is building HIT tools to power ACOs.

Sharing and Interoperability is important. ETNA has acquired Medicity to provide a Health Information Exchange.

Analytics are important. 

We need precision of information. We need workflow tools to maximize performance.

AETNA has 3 models:

1. Enhanced Clinical capabilities

2. Population Management

3. White Label Payer 

Eliminating co-pays for patients have demonstrated improvements in care. ie. reduce the patients barrier to care.

Free drugs after a heart attack led to only 51% compliance. This indicates that there is far more to be done in caring for the patient.
