Independence Blue Cross (IBC) recently teamed up with Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business to develop a Business Analytics Certificate program as a new way to further develop its informatics staff and prepare them for the many opportunities to improve health care coming with health care reform. The first class of IBC associates completed the program in May and a new class of students will begin this fall.

Based on his research, Wes Gray, PhD, assistant professor of finance, thinks that CFOs can overcome biases to reduce forecasting errors.

In the future, health care may look very different than it does today. Drexel LeBow’s Corporate and Executive Education recently presented an expert panel on what innovations in health care could mean for insurance companies, employers and consumers.
