Good Bye Volume – Hello Value: Collaboration in the Healthcare Continuum
There is an inarguable shift occurring within the healthcare overall from “volume” based reimbursement (fee-for-service) to “value” based payment. By the end of 2016, 30% of Medicare payments will be based on value, rather than fee for service, and CMS has set the goal of 50% by 2018. How can managers determine the best or “ideal” resource utilization for a particular patient while collaboratively developing more sensitive and predictive models? Which patients should be referred to post-acute care centers for rehabilitation, and which can be safely referred to home with care? How can providers best deflect the drive of some intermediaries attempting to use cookie-cutter approaches to care utilization?
This Webinar which covers the steps to develop a collaborative continuum of care, features of programs which effectively manage care and models for managing and marketing the relationships between and among discharging hospitals, post-acute care providers and intermediaries attempting to survive and thrive in a value based payment environment.
