Video-Telehealth: Getting to Win-Win through a VNA-Primary Care Medical Group Collaboration is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
This session provides a 360-degree view of how a VNA and primary care medical group partnered to customize a telehealth program for the medical group’s higher-risk patients. Follow the process from concept through implementation by hearing from both sides of the partnership. They’ll discuss issues involved in developing physician buy-in, policies, procedures, and outcome metrics. Both home health and medical group stakeholders will present key elements in setting up the program, including understanding different care cultures, identifying target patients, stratifying risk, and defining clinical parameters. Financial faculty will present a cost-benefit analysis that takes account of sustainability and larger health care trends as home care looks to work with new partners.
