Keynote Speaker:
Rachel Werner, MD, PhD
Dr. Werner is a Professor of Medicine in the Perelman School of Medicine and of Health Care Management in the Wharton School, both at the University of Pennsylvania. She received her medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania, where she also did her residency in Internal Medicine. While completing a clinical fellowship in general internal medicine, she completed a PhD in health economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Werner’s research seeks to understand the effect of provider payment on health care organization and delivery, focusing on hospital and post-acute care settings. In particular, she has examined the role of quality improvement incentives on provider behavior, racial disparities, and overall health care quality. Her work has empirically investigated numerous unintended consequences to quality improvement incentives and was among the first to recognize that public reporting of quality information may worsen racial disparities.
