Suzanne Delbanco calls Peter Kilmartin, Consultant Effectiveness Leader and US Leadership Team at Mercer Health & Benefits, to discuss the four areas where employers can build out their health care purchasing strategy. With the Vitals For Change Scorecard, co-developed by Mercer and CPR, employers can benchmark their benefits purchasing strategy against their peers based on how they are 1) paying for value, 2) driving to quality, 3) personalizing the experience, and 4) embracing disruption. Peter shares anecdotes from the field, including how some CEO’s are now viewing disruption with a positive connotation in their quest to improve the health care experience and outcomes of company employees.
