The average American experiences a single healthy birthday after turning 65—highlighting a notable gap between healthspan and lifespan. Federal policy is shifting to close this divide. CMS recently unveiled several prevention-focused initiatives—such as ACCESS and MAHA ELEVATE—while refining Star Ratings to promote lifestyle-based behavior change. As a result, industry attention is shifting toward HEDIS® and HOS-derived measures that promote functional health.

Quality improvement leaders have a massive opportunity to drive value during this transition. More than 70 percent of seniors live with a chronic condition that can be managed through lifestyle interventions like physical activity, stress management and nutrition. Crucially, members who report better health outcomes also report higher satisfaction with their plans.

Join former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin, along with leaders from Kaiser Permanente and Bold, to discuss how innovative providers and payers involve seniors in evidence-based prevention. The session will also address overcoming obstacles to digital adoption and promoting cost-effective outcomes. You’ll hear from experienced practitioners with field-tested strategies and methods to assist seniors in beginning and maintaining healthy behaviors as well as ways to seamlessly integrate lifestyle medicine into provider engagement and individual care plans.
