Equity in the Finance and Delivery of Health Care: Are We Asking the Right Questions?
Benjamin Anderson, MBA, MHCDS, Former CEO, Kearny County Hospital, Lakin, KS
As the U.S. grapples with how to develop sustainable legislation that optimizes health outcomes for all citizens, rural
communities face additional challenges. First, insurers are still paying generously through the Critical Access Hospital
program for high-cost inpatient and emergency services with very little focus on incentivizing population heath. To make
matters more difficult, rural healthcare delivery systems often lack the basic primary care and community-based infrastruc-
ture to properly manage the health of their populations. Put simply, even if insurers incentivized interventions that would
lead to better overall outcomes for people, those services are not available in many rural communities. In this presenta-
tion, Mr. Anderson tells the story of the rapid growth and transformation of Kearny County Hospital, a frontier healthcare
delivery system in one of the United States’ most culturally diverse and medically underserved areas. He addresses the fa-
talism that has become common in rural communities, while referencing the Four Principles of Biomedical Ethics to make
a compelling case for essential steps to effective, sustainable reform.
Learning Objectives:
• Review the historical and current status of perverse incentives and conflicts of interest in healthcare;
• Identify financial barriers to healthcare access that lead to health inequalities;
• Describe tools for measuring health outcomes and costs; and
• Describe applicable tools for stewardship of healthcare resources.

9:15 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Payment Models to Sustain Rural Healthcare Services
Harold Miller, President and CEO, Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform
During this session, Harold Miller will summarize the specific problems with current payment systems that are causing
many rural hospitals to close, and he will explain why most proposed payment reforms, such as shared savings and global
budgets, will fail to sustain essential healthcare services in rural areas. He will then describe innovative value-based pay-
ment models for rural hospitals and health clinics that avoid the problems of current and proposed models. He will use
realistic examples to show how well-designed payment models can provide adequate and predictable support for high-
quality services in rural communities, including inpatient, outpatient, primary care and long-term care services.
Learning Objectives:
• Discuss the primary causes of rural hospital financial losses and closures;
• Outline what changes in rural hospital payments have been proposed by federal policymakers and understand the
strengths and weaknesses of those proposals;
• Explore alternative approaches to sustaining essential rural hospital services that avoid the problems with both the
current payment system and other proposed solutions;
• Identify specific steps that must be taken to move to better payment systems; and
• Explore the role physicians will play in the development of alternative payment models and their ultimate success.
10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.
Payment Models: Deep Dive Discussion and Q&A
Facilitated by Harold Miller and featuring Maine hospital CEOs providing their unique perspective
Harold Miller, joined by several Maine hospital CEOs, will facilitate an interactive discussion with attendees to get input
on how to ensure new payment models will support the unique needs of rural communities in Maine. Attendees will also
discuss how rural hospitals in Maine could work with other stakeholders in the state and with rural hospitals in other
states to make desirable reforms in both local and national payment systems.

How Can We Deliver More Services in Rural Communities?
Harold Miller and Gabrielle Rocque, M.D., assistant professor, Division of Hematology and Oncology,
University of Alabama at Birmingham and assistant scientist, O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center
Gabrielle Rocque, M.D., will outline the kinds of services that small, rural hospitals could potentially provide to improve
health outcomes for residents of rural communities who have cancer and other serious illnesses. She will describe the
results of projects that have provided care navigation services for cancer patients in rural communities and present re-
search showing there is a financial business case for payers to support these types of services. Dr. Rocque and Mr. Miller
will then explain how payment systems for rural hospitals could be changed to support these and other kinds of services
for seriously ill patients.
Learning Objectives:
• Examine the reasons why rural residents with cancer and other serious illnesses have worse outcomes and higher
healthcare costs than patients in larger communities who have similar conditions;
• Discuss enhanced services that have been used to improve outcomes and reduce costs that can be feasibly
delivered in small rural communities; and
• Explore the kinds of changes in current payment systems that could be made to support enhanced services.

Achieving a Culture of Zero Violence: Leadership Strategies to Improve Healthcare Safety and Security Programs
Brian Uridge, MPA, CHPA, CPP, Security Director, University of Michigan Health System
Violence is one of the largest occupational hazards facing healthcare workers today. According to the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, between 2011 and 2013, just over 70 percent of all workplace assaults occurred in healthcare or social
service settings.Violence reduction programs should be focused on developing a system-wide approach that recognizes
every healthcare system is a community, with every floor being a unique neighborhood, each with different dynamics.
Building trust, transparency and training along with implementing a system-wide strategy focused on reducing risk and
anxiety through exceptional experience-based nontraditional contacts, staff training, professionalism and critical incident
response, forms the basis from which a strong security program is built.
Learning Objectives:
• Outline strategies to implement community policing-based security models focused on trust, transparency and training;
• Outline steps to effectively implement security strategies such as firearms programs, Taser programs, and Security K-9
programs; and
• Create law enforcement-based training scenarios designed for the healthcare clinical environment.

Speakers THE SPEAKERS
Benjamin Anderson, MBA, MHCDS
Improving the health status of people in America’s most underserved communities is the mission and
calling of Benjamin Anderson, who formerly served as CEO of Kearny County Hospital, a comprehen-
sive rural health complex located in southwest Kansas. Raised on the rougher side of California’s Bay
Area, Anderson experienced poverty during his childhood years. These formative experiences played a
major role in Anderson’s decision to find ways to improve the lives of underserved, distressed people.
His career in healthcare administration began in 2009 as CEO of Ashland Health Center, a struggling hospital and the
only health provider in a Kansas town of 900 people. There, he led an effort that dramatically revitalized the com-
munity’s healthcare services, recruiting and retaining several medical providers to serve a multi-county area between
Kansas and Oklahoma. At Kearny County Hospital, Anderson received national acclaim for his work in physician
recruitment, health promotion, women’s health initiatives, and rural healthcare delivery innovation. Anderson is a
talented storyteller, known for tying his own experiences to applicable lessons. His laid-back, humorous narrative
and interactive style leads his audiences toward embracing change and choosing their own destiny, interweaving a
compelling moral case for serving our nation’s most vulnerable people.
Harold Miller
Harold D. Miller is the President and CEO of the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform.
He also serves as Adjunct Professor of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University.
Miller is a nationally-recognized expert on healthcare payment and delivery reform. He has twice given
invited testimony to Congress on how to reform healthcare payment, and he has worked in more than
40 states and several foreign countries to help physicians, hospitals, employers, health plans, and gov-
ernment agencies design and implement payment and delivery system reforms. He served for four years as a mem-
ber of the federal Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee that was created by Congress to
advise the Secretary of Health and Human Services on the creation of alternative payment models. From 2015-2018,
he assisted the Washington State Hospital Association and the State of Washington to identify the causes of the
financial problems facing the state’s smallest Critical Access Hospitals and to develop improved payment systems for
hospitals and Rural Health Clinics.
Gabrielle Rocque, M.D.
Gabrielle Rocque, M.D., is Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Divisions of Hematology & Oncology
and Gerontology, Geriatrics, & Palliative Care at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Dr.
Rocque is nationally recognized for her work in improving the quality of healthcare delivery for cancer
patients, with an emphasis on shared decision-making, payment reform, and provision of supportive
care services to patients. She served as Medical Director of a successful 2012 Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Innovation Award, which focused on improving health and healthcare costs by implementing a lay navigator
workforce to support cancer patients from diagnosis through survivorship and end-of-life. She has published
research on the differences in outcomes and treatment costs for cancer patients living in rural areas.
