Of containment began we started to repatriate the first flights coming from mainland china, from wuhan and elsewhere. The second phase was the mitigation phase and adopting strategies as we saw the first case of community spread, to advanced stayathome orders for the seniors and to begin the process of closing down our schools, populationbased strategies to mitigate spread which included at scale a statewide stayathome order, and then the efforts to continue to practice physical distancing. We then started to move into third phase and that phase could probably be described as the phase of surging, surging our system.

Were not always being taped live by cspan. Were delighted to have them all here today. This is a particularly exciting entry in our longstanding Public Health rounds that are sponsored by our Health Society and medicine program. The focus today is the inaugural report of the aspen Health Strategy group. The name, Health Strategy group, is taken from the aspen Strategy Group, for those of you familiar with American Foreign policy, you probably know about the aspen Strategy Group.

Company officials and police reviewed bus Surveillance Video yo which showed rios reaching into numerous backpacks swiping bagged lunches and cash.

So to give you a sense of why that really diminishes the incentives, if you think about an aco increasing spending during a Contract Period, medicare shared savings program, aco for example that isnt facing any Downside Risk, they are penalized for doing that. And it increases their benchmark for the following Contract Period and then they can receive a shared savings bonus for doing nothing. Under the pioneer program, they are penalized for doing more, but again theres that offsetting effect by the benchmark going up and the subsequent Contract Period, so for pioneer acos the incentives are more akin to fee for service with a lag. Then, thinking about the fixed costs of investing in systems to actually control spending, the rebasing is that much more of a problem because it may be hard for acos to recoup their investments of investing in the right systems. So that is one challenge. And i know sean and his team is working hard on a revamped proposed rule for the shared savings program.
