How Do You Solve a Problem Like Attribution?
Prior to the widespread adoption of value based care, attribution was a pesky administrative burden, but with more patients and dollars shifting into risk arrangements, attribution has become the top question providers and payer must wrestle with and get right in order to excel in value based care.
This panel will explore the ways payers, providers, and aggregators have confronted the thorny topic of attribution and crafted strategies to best understand, manage, and optimize patient attribution. We’ll also explore what are the boundaries of how we currently think about attribution and what might the future hold in new models or arrangements.
To Intermediary or Not? That is the Question
Providers of all types on the journey to value based care must often ask themselves the question—go it alone or partner? Often times, single provider groups or payers cannot achieve their value based goals alone and turn to partnership as a tool to achieve their value based care goals, be it around contracting, technology, or operationalizing risk.
This panel will explore the challenges and opportunities of partnership in value based care arrangements, from third-party aggregators to joint-ventures amongst provider groups.
Operationalizing Value: What You Need to Succeed
The road to value often begins with contract negotiation, but all risk holders know that the real challenge arrives with the operationalization of the value based arrangements. From managing clinical and financial data to changing care pathways, it’s the execution of value that separates winners from losers in risk deals.
This panel will explore the various functions organizations need to think about as they build or buy their way to operationalizing value based care.
Expanding Reach: Creating Value Outside of Clinical Settings
While value based care arrangements can bring flexibility to current clinical models of care, patients still spend the majority of their lives outside of clinical settings, where innovative approaches to clinical management can have outsized impact on stubborn spending and utilization trends.
This panel will explore novel approaches to using wearables, remote patient monitoring, hospital at home, and social care interventions inside a patient’s home, community, lifestyle to achieve better outcomes.
Transitioning Community Health Centers to Risk Taking Entities
Community Health Centers serve an increasingly diverse population of Americans, and yet with their unique reimbursement and clinical model, these organizations are driving some of the most innovative work in the value based revolution. These community based players are uniquely positioned to be strong players in the future, both as risk holders and innovators.
This panel will explore the opportunities and challenges faced by FQHCs when moving from Fee for Service reimbursement to value based models.
Managing Moments of Transition: Post-Acute and Specialty Providers as Partners for Value
With the continued focus on lowering readmission rates and variation in outcomes associated with inpatient use, the post-acute space along with specialty care is finding new ways to craft value propositions and contribute to lowering total cost of care and improved outcomes for risk-bearing entities. Continued focus on bundles and hospital-based episodes such as the new CMMI TEAM model creates new opportunity for these types of providers in the value based ecosystem.
This panel will explore exciting innovations in post-acute and specialty care that help risk entities manage important moments of care.
