Searching for Value in Digital Home Health Solutions
Nancy Morden, MD, MPH, Senior Vice President, Chief Medical Officer Clinical Policy, Clinical Program Evaluation, and Clinical Program Innovation, UnitedHealthcare

How can insurers make sense of the growing number of “innovative” digital solutions offering to transform health and healthcare while reducing wasteful spending? The promises are enticing. Our customers and members are curious. Our competition is investing. We could easily fill our calendars with pitches from these vendors, but value can rarely be discerned from the information provided. To manage the growing interest and uncertainty surrounding digital home health solutions, United HealthCare launched a pragmatic trials program to generate business insight and inform investment. I will share challenges, early learnings, and the ambitious goals of this team.

6:00 p.m.
