Mind the Gap: New Concepts in Managing Defined Benefit Pension Risk
Ryan McGlothlin, Punter Southall Group, will speak about the increased pressure on sponsors of defined benefit pension plans to improve or maintain funding levels due to the Pension Protection Act and FAS158. Many plan sponsors are doing everything they can on the HR side (freezing, curtailing benefits, etc.) to limit their risk, but these changes only go so far. To really get at the core of the problem, plan sponsors should consider changes to the way in which assets are managed in the plan. This talk will provide an overview of some of the new concepts in pension plan management, many of which originated in the UK following similar pension regulatory and accounting changes there. In addition, some items that should be considered as part of any DB plan acquisition due diligence, but generally are not, will be explored. |

Hospice Care Delivery and Costs: Is There a Better Way?
 |
Dr. Haiden Huskamp |
Please join Dr. Haiden Huskamp, Harvard Medical School, for an overview on the status of hospice. Research shows that hospice, which includes a broad array of palliative and supportive services, can improve symptom management and quality of life for patients with a terminal illness. Use of hospice has increased rapidly over the past several years, yet many terminally ill patients receive hospice care only in the final days before death or never enroll. This seminar will describe trends in hospice use and the supply of hospice providers, coverage of hospice care, and factors that influence a patient's decision to use hospice. We will also discuss how the primary payer of hospice care - the Medicare program - pays hospices for the care they provide, problems created by this payment approach, and alternative ways of paying for these services. |
