Alternative Payment Models – Best Practices in Operations is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
The transformation of health care from a fee for service payment model to a focus on value and quality has led to a variety of alternative payment models. Health systems are engaging home care agencies to serve in different roles than they have traditionally. Insurance companies are proposing risk models to share in the success of cost reductions, as long as quality measures are achieved. The focus of this session is to explore how to prepare for these new payment models and how to adapt your operations to be successful in this new value-based world.
Learning Outcomes:
• Identify the key operational decisions on whether to participate in an Accountable Care Organization
• Describe steps to negotiate successfully with ACO’s and insurance companies
• Outline a process to adapt your clinical models to achieve cost savings and quality measures
