“Shifting Risks: Predict and Prosper”
The Johns Hopkins ACG System Team is excited about the wonderful results and turnout at the 2016 ACG System International Conference. The ACG System community gathered to share information about the latest developments in risk adjustment and predictive modeling while enjoying the beautiful water views of downtown San Diego. This conference’s global reach, which covers the application of the ACG System in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Africa, continues to expand with representation of 50+ organizations from a dozen countries.

The team also presented the biennial Starfield Award, recognizing those who best use the ACG System in addressing multi-morbidity, reducing care disparities and improving population health.

If you were there with us, thank you for being the key component to make the conference a success. If you were not able to attend, we hope that you are able to join us at the next International Conference.
