A Primer on Value-Based Contracting-Part 2
Evaluation and successful implementation needs

  • Event Date:
  • Event Time: Noon Central

Health care is experiencing dramatic change as the nation’s delivery system transitions to a value-based system from the fee-for-service (FFS) approach that has been in place for the past half century. In the evolving business model, hospitals, health systems, physician groups and other health care providers will take on more risk and be responsible for delivering defined services to a specific population at a predetermined price and quality level. New care delivery networks and value-based arrangements are emerging in communities nationwide. While the pace of change varies in different communities, health care organizations must be proactive or risk being left behind.

The transformation in how providers deliver and are paid for services is, and will continue to be, challenging. The terms of value-based contracts are significantly different than the fee-for-service arrangements. In this two-part webinar series, experts from Kaufman Hall, co-authors of the new Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence Guide on Value-Based Contracting, published in conjunction with the AHA’s Hospital Research and Educational Trust, will share insights on success requirements for hospitals and health care systems as they begin the move to value-based contracting arrangements.

Part 2 will focus on evaluating a specific value-based contract and the “must haves” for successful implementation.

 

You Will Learn:

  • The types of value-based arrangements emerging and the benefits associated with each
  • How to gauge your organization’s capacity to carry risk
  • An approach for developing a value-based strategy and contracting plan
  • How to effectively “mind the gap” while making the transition from FFS to value-based contracts
