Seema Verma to Present Keynote at RISE's 2022 Summit on Social Determinants of Health

NASHVILLE, Tenn., December 6, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Seema Verma, former administrator, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), will kick off the first day of the 2022 RISE Summit on Social Determinants of Health, discussing effective approaches to meet the needs of vulnerable populations within a value-based health care system.

As the longest-serving CMS Administrator in modern history and a national health policy expert, Verma will offer her insights on the tactical ways health care organizations can address social determinants of health (SDoH) problems within the framework and resources in our health care system.

During her prominent time at CMS, Verma implemented over 16 strategic initiatives aimed to lower costs, improve quality, and increase access in the U.S. health care system. She also worked to accelerate value-based care transformation and address SDoH by advancing new payment models throughout CMS programs, dropping premiums in Medicare Advantage, Part D, and the insurance exchanges.

Verma's keynote will take place at 8:45 a.m. Monday, March 21, 2022, at The Omni Nashville, Nashville, Tenn. Her presentation will explore the concept of high-value, low-cost health care to meet the needs of vulnerable populations within a value-based health care system.

The RISE Summit on Social Determinants of Health will be held March 20-22, 2022, at The Omni Nashville in Nashville, Tenn. Preconference workshops and an opening reception will take place on Sunday, March 20, followed by the main conference.
