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.
