Meeting patients’ needs and improving financial performance have become major focus areas for hospital and health system executives facing payment pressures and the market shift towards patient-centered and value-based care. And as patients increasingly shop for healthcare services, enhancing patient experience is regarded as a potential driver of hospital performance, since it may build reputation and brand, strengthen customer loyalty, and boost utilization of hospital services through increased referrals to family and friends. In addition, hospitals’ reimbursements from private insurers and Medicare are increasingly tied to quality performance metrics that capture patient experience as well as clinical outcomes. And improving patient experience is one of the fundamental concepts underlying the Triple Aim approach to optimizing health system performance. And overall, good patient experience is an important outcome unto itself, as patients intrinsically value the interpersonal aspects of the clinician-patient relationship, such as compassion, communication, and an overall sense of being treated with dignity and respect.

Value-based healthcare is an approach to payment and delivery of care that is centered on measuring the actual outcomes achieved by a provider against a predetermined set of performance metrics, with incentives based on performance. As this shift has occurred, we are seeing increased patient access, reduced costs, better quality of care and improved coordination of services. This has the potential to significantly change how healthcare is delivered.

Business Research Intelligence Network’s Value-Based Healthcare Summit will return to the Austin Marriott Downtown in October 2022 to educate and inform attendees on the innovative opportunities that bundling payment models have created in healthcare. With sessions led by industry thought-leaders, and speakers who are familiar with practices and procedures that have been implemented to help prepare for changes in the industry, this summit will provide you with the necessary tools to ensure success when preparing or considering a pivot to bundle payment options.

Most patients have their blood pressure taken during every doctor visit. Yet, this simple physiologic vital sign measurement is often performed incorrectly. Too often, the results are artificially elevated, which can lead to less-than-optimal clinical management for high-risk groups. In addition, there are significant financial consequences to poorly performed blood pressure management. This webinar will explore the cascading impact from inaccurate point-of-care blood pressure attainment and provide insight into simple corrective measures to achieve better clinical outcomes. Since healthcare reimbursements are moving more to a value-based model, the speakers will also explore the economic impact of accurate point-of-care BP measurement. 

This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to: 

• Identify the most common sources of error within blood pressure attainment and the degree to which they impact the accuracy of values
• Discuss how improper blood pressure technique can lead to improper clinical management and drive poor performance on value-based care payment incentives
• Describe best clinical practices for point-of-care blood pressure measurement and how implementation will improve outcomes and financial performance

Health plans and providers have invested mightily in value-based care capabilities over the last decade with a particular emphasis on primary care and reducing hospital admissions. Yet, even the most successful value-based care organizations will still have hospital admission rates of anywhere from 100 to 200 admits per thousand members. With 50% of Medicare spending happening in the acute episode of care that is initiated by that admission, a holistic approach to cost and quality must look beyond primary care interventions to the other major drivers of cost and quality.

Key Learning Points:

• How a comprehensive value-based care strategy that extends into the acute episode of care can complement a primary care strategy
• Sound’s lessons from managing $10 billion in at-risk spending
• Five operational principles that create reproducible results
• Sound’s perspective on the future of value-based care

This one-of-a-kind Congress brings together stakeholders from all walks of health care including manufacturers, provider organizations (both acute and post-acute), and payers (including the government, managed care, and commercial plans) to break down silos, coordinate efforts, and bend the cost curve. 

The time is now for ASC total joints. The migration of total joint surgeries to the outpatient environment has accelerated along with the prevalence of enabling surgical technologies.

During this webinar, key opinion leaders will share their insights into building and growing a successful and efficient ASC total joint program and how to incorporate value-based surgical technologies to provide cost-effective, quality care.

The status of a patient-provider relationship can clarify for value-based organizations which patients will benefit from enhanced care engagement tactics, quantifies the quality and cost impact of an improved relationship, and places the focus on the “whole-person”, and their overall experience with the healthcare delivery system.
