SAN FRANCISCO -- Healthcare speaker, strategist and facilitator Jim Purcell will speak at 2015 AALNC Legal Nurse Consulting Educational and Networking Forum in Indianapolis, IN. Mr. Purcell will speak about the current dysfunctional system, the impediments to change and ideas for improving the future health care system. Purcell’s presentation, Why Alternative Dispute Resolution is Critically Important in Resolving Healthcare Disputes, will take place at The Hilton Indianapolis on April 17, 2015 at 1:50pm.

“The American health care system is undergoing a complete transformation,” said Purcell. “Healthcare reform is forcing payers and providers to change delivery modes and how care is paid for, resulting in tremendous uncertainty. Yet, this offers an unprecedented opportunity to transform andstrengthen, not diminish, today’s dysfunctional healthcare system.”

Purcell served as the CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI), a position he held from 2004-2011. During that time, he revitalized primary care, empowered behavioral health and started the core reform concept of the patient centered medical home, which will be the centerpiece of reform in the future.

Purcell currently speaks and consults around healthcare reform, and is a leading dispute resolution expert in the nationwide health care industry. Jim draws from his “inside out” professional experience to help resolve conflicts involving hospitals, professionals, patients, ACOs, and helps executives, boards and healthcare groups improve company healthcare plans and meet long range challenges.
