From Volume to Value: Climbing the ACO Value Chain

Thursday, February 16, 2012 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM EST

Third-party payers are increasingly presenting medical providers with an array of mechanisms that purportedly reward them for improving patient value. Bundled payments, medical-management fees, shared-savings ACOs, capitation, value-based purchasing, Pioneer ACOs, and a multitude of others are all focused on incentivizing and rewarding medical providers that provide coordinated, high-quality, evidence-based care that reduces total patient costs by eliminating waste, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing prevention and wellness. Missing, however, has been any way for providers to seize the initiative to create their own strategies for delivering—and being paid for—value instead of volume. In this webinar, Stroudwater Associates principal Steve Hyde presents such a strategic framework in the form of a four-level Strategic ACO Value Chain, by which medical groups, hospitals, and integrated medical systems can take control with their own value-based revenue strategies without becoming dependent on—and at risk for—the often disjointed, unproven, and over-regulated experiments of their payers.
