Transforming Care: How Payers and Provider ACOs can be Real Partners
Scientific research shows that annual costs pertaining to common disorders can be reduced when evidence-based medicine is practice, leading to less surgeries, injections, specialist and emergency department visits and lower healthcare spend. The amount of unnecessary care occurring in the United States and abroad is astounding. We are too imaging and procedure focused at large, which is not support by the evidence. Appropriate, evidence-based care has significant ROI and when married to a value-based economic model, magic can really start to happen. Without this, healthcare costs will continue to rise, as will lost workdays, loss of productivity and a diminished quality of life often for years and even decades. Our team of expert panelists will describe how payers and providers can work together to define common goals, such as fostering a patient-centric approach to care and achieving population health outcomes at lower cost.
Learning Objectives:
- Improved evidence-based models of care … just changing the reimbursement model is not enough
- Aligning incentives and performance reflective of reimbursement
- Evaluating the impact of direct, indirect costs and economic implications
- Managing risk and building trust through a greater level of collaboration
- Rethinking and reimagining best practices and improved patient outcomes
