We had a robust response to our Webinar. Thank you to all of you who took the time to join the conversation about the growth of Value-Based Care and its potential impact on your organization. We know that Fee for Service is not sustainable and that there will be an acceleration towards Value-Based Care and shifting risk to others. Our Webinar focused on the importance of understanding where you are in the transition to Value-Based payments and what steps you can take to rapidly move your organization forward. Below is a quick summary of the presentations and a link to view the Webinar.
Joe Damore emphasized that value based care redesign must not outpace value based payment arrangements. They must be done simultaneously. He also talked about the provider compensation continuum (level of financial risk) with limited integration vs. full integration. There was an emphasis on the opportunities that systems could do first. He suggested going for the "low-level fruit" such as annual wellness visits, primary care network, employee health plan before tackling the harder things.
Mark Clements, President and CEO of TriHealth, talked about the new skills, competencies and infrastructure required to be successful in Value-Based Care. Their accomplishments have been amazing. He also shared the important lessons he learned during his organization's journey to Value-Based Care. All of these lessons would be helpful to any health system.
Jeff Bernhard talked about the importance of establishing relationships between the payor and providers and how we often speak past each other. He said that some payer partner's will not "get it", and we need to find the ones that do and start there. He remarked that it is essential to focus on building relationships.
