The Arizona Regional Health Economy Simulator is a two-day learning exercise that invites key healthcare decision-makers throughout Arizona and Nevada to step outside of their daily roles to discuss local healthcare reform and build collaborative relationships for the future.
Participants will include local representatives of healthcare payers, providers, hospitals, business and government whose decisions affect the local health economy and, ultimately, access and quality of care for consumers.
Shedding their day-to-day roles and adopting unfamiliar advocacy positions, participants will break into teams as part of a friendly competition to sort through complex, inter-related variables important to the spectrum of health economy stakeholders and create a new health economy. In this regional Health Economy Simulator, teams will be assembled based on geographic location, with participants from Tucson, Phoenix or Las Vegas forming teams.
At the conclusion of the two-day simulator, each team will receive a quantitative, computer-generated assessment of the impact of their decisions on consumers and stakeholders, plus a qualitative comparison of each team’s performance.
Most importantly, however, participants will gain powerful new insights into the roles, functions and unique challenges facing varied stakeholders. The simulator also will foster collaborative relationships with an eye toward creating the best possible health and healthcare services for Arizona and Nevada; setting reasonable cost for employers, taxpayers and consumers; and creating healthier and more engaged consumers, and a healthier economy.
