One of the key elements of health care delivery innovations is the sharing of financial risks between providers and payers. Medicare offers risk sharing in accountable care organizations, post-acute care bundling, and a wide assortment of demonstration programs. Medicaid is dipping its toes into risk sharing arrangements and managed care organizations are already engaged in shared savings programs with a variety of provider types. Is risk sharing right for your organization? How does it work? What tools do you need? How much risk can you take? What are the possible financial benefits in the short term and long term? This program explores all those questions and more.
Objectives:
- Recognize the trends occurring in shared risk health care models
- Identify what the relevant factors are in determining whether risk sharing is a good fit for your organization
- Identify the risk-sharing models that are likely to play a significant role of the future in health care
