On the journey to value-based care, there are many paths to take. They all lead to the same destination: risk-based arrangements. By 2026, CMS will require all providers to take on the cost of caring for their patients – or face annual decreases in Medicare reimbursement. 

• Examine the current and future landscape of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
• Review Medicare reimbursement trends and risk definitions, as well as strategies to excel in value-based payment models.
• Assess the collaborative ACO model and understand how this innovative model can help providers reduce their risk by joining together for value-based contracts with enough lives to negate random statistical variability.

 

Join your fellow attendees to discuss what you've learned in the morning sessions and make new connections.

 

 

The State of Oregon has radically transformed its Medicaid system through the creation of new payment and delivery model called the Coordinated Care Model. In the model, community-governed health plans, known as Coordinated Care Organizations or CCO's provide coverage of medical, behavioral health and oral care services. Local providers, elected officials, and even members govern the plans to ensure the needs of the community are met. CCO's have catalyzed the adoption of value-based care, quality measurement and health information technology across all populations in the state beyond Medicaid, including commercially insured individuals. In his talk, Dr Rickards will share how the power of community and relationships serve as a foundational element in driving healthcare transformation. 

 

 

This presentation will cover the unique issues that face independent providers in the value based care from the Independent Physician Advisory perspective. This includes Physicians of Southwest Washington journey to successfully align independent providers, multi-specialty  groups,  hospital partners, and post-acute community providers  in up and down-side payer risk models.  PSW was able to qualify the network of providers as an Advanced Alternative Model under MACRA rule in  CMS Next Generation ACO model.  Will discuss the challenges and opportunities to use data from multiple E.H.Rs  and engage providers in action to improve quality and reduce costs.

“Clinical Integration” is a key component of many supply chain strategies, but its definition and implementation vary greatly, creating confusion when partnering with key stakeholders, such as physicians, payers, suppliers, and purchasing organizations. AHRMM’s Cost-Quality-Outcomes (CQO) Movement was envisioned as a continually evolving initiative that helps providers and suppliers think more holistically to achieve the Triple Aim: Improving the patient experience and the health of populations, while reducing the per capita cost of healthcare. As healthcare moves toward more value-based payment models and the CQO Movement evolves, the need for a clearer definition of “Clinical Integration” is emerging. This session will address new key stakeholders, managing “new” data, a better way to engage physicians in supply chain and value-based payment models to achieve a data-driven definition of “Clinical Integration".

 

 

In the face of new market entrants and unprecedented change, using digital to grow the health system is a key way to ensure future success. Digital becomes one of key components to the front door for the health system to bring in new customers. Providence St. Joseph Health has developed a same-day, low-acuity transactional platform that secures high-value consumer relationships and solves consumer access and convenience challenges by attracting, matching and scheduling consumer demand and clinical availability in real-time across multiple modalities and venues. Learn how this platform provides an end-to-end solution that brings together the digital consumer acquisition and transaction experience. 

 

Join your fellow attendees at the end of the day to toast what you've learned and the new connections you've made.

 

 

Join Deepak Sadagopan, Group Vice President of Population Health Informatics and Value Based Care Programs at Providence St. Joseph Health and Mark Hagland, Editor-in-Chief of Healthcare Innovation to kick-off day two of the summit with an in-depth discussion on how Providence St. Joseph is keeping pace with the rapid changes in population health. Discussion topics include how Providence St. Joseph is utilizing advanced data analytics to do everything from determine which value based contracts to enter into, the role of technology in population health and value based care initiatives, and how they keep their population health and value based care mission focused to produce the best results for patients.

 

 

Thanks to advancements in technology, Artificial Intelligence is enabling enterprises to drive innovation, efficiency, customer experience and productivity, while fundamentally transforming the nature of human work. Now that we have access to this technology, we need to shift the burden of monotonous tasks and free humans from the button Olympics they are used to performing. Join Sean Lane, CEO of Olive, as he discusses taking the robot out of the human and building a digital workforce to bring down administrative costs in healthcare.

 

 

Opioids overdose deaths continue to increase in the United States. According to the CDC, in 2017 more than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, and of those deaths nearly 68 percent involved a prescription or illicit opioid. NCPDP has had a priority focus on developing a solution to help address the epidemic since 2013. At that time, the ANSI-accredited, standards development organization took visionary action publishing a white paper that details a standards-based model for prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) with best practice guidance to help providers to make informed decisions at the point of prescribing. The model solution is intended to provide access for patients with a valid medical need and reduce fraud and abuse.

PDMPs, the state-operated databases that collect information on dispensed medications, have evolved historically since the program was first enacted in 1939 in California to enforce drug laws. Still, the overall effectiveness of PDMPs is challenged by a lack of standards to share drug abuse information within and across the states to address potential drug abuse and diversion.

Lee Ann Stember, NCPDP’s President & CEO, provides an overview of the model embraced by industry stakeholder groups and now referenced in legislation. Stember will also share her personal connection with the issue, with a special guest and a call to action on how to engage and help make a difference.

 

 

This session will focus on using the industry leading hyperconverged infrastructure solution to provide both a solid foundation for healthcare deployments as well as the tools and services necessary to drive agile and rapid development/deployment of solutions. Combining the simplicity, security, scalability, and availability of the Nutanix platform with advanced Nutanix services we will showcase the creation of a development and service pipeline that drives the technology staff to focus on business deliverables and not infrastructure maintenance/deployment.
