Description of presentation
Health care reform is anything but static. Adapting to and leveraging new payment models and an array of proposed quality of care measures constitute the most significant strategic challenge for virtually every sector in Minnesota’s health care system. This presentation will highlight several health care reforms and the incentives, pressures, and opportunities that are just around the corner to include the expected proliferation of measures and payments based on episodes of care, as well as new provider incentives under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
Learning Objectives
- Understand the increasing strategic importance of cross-continuum collaboration and managing financial risks in light of new episodes of care payment models.
- Understand how new payment models will correspond to healthcare workforce recruitment and retention.
- Learn how proliferation of federal quality measures could impact all payers and providers in Minnesota.
