On May 18, 2012, the MIT Sloan School of Management joined a diverse range of stakeholders including state government leaders, executives from health care, insurance and other industries, doctors, community leaders, health care union leaders, students, faculty, and media, for a half-day symposium focused on alternative health care policy options. Discussions explored the structural changes needed to address rising health care costs and the role of organization design in delivering affordable quality care. The symposium also stressed the importance of working together—hospitals, insurers, officials—to find solutions to these pressing challenges.
