BIG Ideas Week Connect 

Join this week-long virtual festival of ideas and innovation shared by members for members

BIG Ideas Week returns in its original, virtual format in 2023 to connect members with the best of global practice and ideation/innovation. Our week-long festival of ideas is henceforth: Big ideas Week Connect!

Big Ideas Week Connect addresses 5 key themes over 5 days of content.

Everyday, 4 speakers discuss, each in their own individual session, how their organisation is meeting the challenges and seizing the opportunities provided by the changing health insurance landscape.

The best learnings come from peers navigating the same waters you do. Big Ideas Week Connect is about more than ideas: it is about how the ideas are transformed into practice. Rich learnings, not to be missed by any member.

The full agenda with speakers and topics will be shared at the end of May. Please register your interest below to receive the agenda, which will allow you to pick the sessions you want to attend.

Monday 19 June
Technology and Innovation

Technology is already playing a big role in the health insurance industry and this role is expected to become critical in the years ahead. Health insurers who can successfully leverage technology and innovation will better manage costs by streamlining operations, improve data analysis to reduce waste, enhance customer experience, and develop new products that significantly inprove patient outcomes. Technology and innovation is becoming a significant differentiator. What are we as health funds doing to enable technology and innovation? Where are we starting to see traction and results? What technologies are on the horizon today that will have a significant impact on our businesses in years to come and why?

Tuesday 20 June
Value-based care and payment models

The transformation towards more value-based healthcare models is critical for our industry in the light of rapidly rising healthcare costs. What are the pilots that are delivering measurable results and how can we scale them? What are the structures and processes that need to be in place to shift to a system that values the patients needs? What are the roles we need to develop and the leadership skills required to support that shift? What success can we point to today, that might provide a useful blueprint for the future?

Personalised health and the role of insurance

Personalised healthcare, tailored to an individual’s unique genetic, environmental and lifestyle situation, holds the promise of better health outcomes, better patient satisfaction and lower healthcare costs. Personalisation can occur during the diagnostic and the treatment point in the care pathway. How will this shape our business models of the future? How will we need to engage with patients? How will AI enable personalised medicine, who controls the data and how can we ensure the data is unbiased and delivering for our insured populations? Who is pioneering personalised healthcare, how are health plans involved, and what business impact are we expecting to see from this new way of delivering healthcare?

Thursday 22 June
Access and affordability

If our efforts to prevent disease are to be impactful, then access to care and affordability of care are of primordial importance. How are we expanding access to care to underserved communities? How are we using technology to reach more people and drive down costs of healthcare? How can we use data to identify health disparities in our populations? How do we address increases in drug and treatment prices and provide access to the best care for our insured populations, including the growing number of cell- and gene therapies? And how can we successfully encourage healthy behaviours from our insured populations?

Friday 23 June
Behavioural Health, mind health and prevention

In every nation across the planet mental wellbeing is in decline. Often described as ‘the hidden pandemic’,
the price of our poor mental health contributes to increasing healkthcare costs, and worryingly, our younger populations seem to suffer the most. What are the trends, what impact are we seeing cross our business, how is this affecting risk and policies, and what can we as health insurers do to effectively address this growing problem?
