Johns Hopkins ACG System

2018 International Conference

Johns Hopkins ACG System Conference San Antonio

“Bridging the Continuum of Care”

The Johns Hopkins ACG System team and hundreds of system users from around the world met at the ACG System 2018 International Conference, along the beautiful Riverwalk, in San Antonio, Texas.

During this 3-day conference, attendees learned how health care systems and organizations in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Africa are applying the latest risk adjustment and predictive modeling tools to improve population health.

A highlight of this year’s conference was the presentation of the biennial Starfield Award, recognizing those who best use the ACG System to address multimorbidity, reduce care disparities and improve population health.
