MANAGED CARE ISSUE FORUM


The first Building Bridges Forum, designed for HHS employees, will focus on managed care initiatives, research and implications for the Department and our partners. Secretary Shalala will initiate the first issue forum with a welcome from the Humphrey Building in Washinton, DC. The panel presentation including health care leaders from HHS and the managed care industry will originate from the HCFA Building in Baltimore. Using the new video bridge to connect conference rooms across the Department, 15 sites will be linked to allow for feedback and questions from regional and OPDIV sites across the country.
