BE 608: Agenda and formalities

Ross Elective Curve

• Ross has 5 possible grades (Ex, Gd, P, LP, F). If you are not a Ross student, you should check how these grades will be translated to your school. 
• There is a mandatory grading curve where no more than 35% of students can receive Ex, next 40% receive Gd, 20% receive PS and 5% receive LP or F.

Payment Reform Project

There are 5 topics, with two groups for each topic. 

• BCBS Massachusetts Alternative Quality Contract
• CalPERS Reference Pricing
• Bundled Payments for Care Improvement
• Medicare Readmission Reduction Program
• Medicare Shared Savings Program

There should be about 7 people per group. Sign up on Canvas.

If you haven't signed up by 11/15 I will put you in a group.

Calendar!

• No class on 11/13--your assignment is due this day

• As part of the Ross academic calendar, classes scheduled for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving meet on Monday that week. So we will be meeting on 11/25--mark your calendar!
