June 19 Conference Examines Affordable Care Act as Translational Health Policy Experiment.

The conference, to be held June 19 at Tufts’ downtown Boston medical campus, will frame the 2010 Affordable Care Act as one of the largest translational health policy experiments in our nation’s history.

This conference intends to highlight the importance of the ACA and its innovations and resultant data, for informing healthcare improvement. Key creators and implementers of the ACA will be speaking at the conference. Full information, including a PDF listing of the speakers, panelists and topics, is available here.

Each speaker will give a 20 minute presentation, which then will be discussed for 10 minutes by a panel, followed by 10 minutes for audience Q&A. Presentations range from the creation of the ACA to its implementation to the upcoming Supreme Court decision on the ACA. It will be of interest to a wide spectrum of people, including almost anyone interested in healthcare policy to political junkies.

The conference is free but registration is required. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
