I Want it All and I Want it Now: Executing Your Clinical Data Strategy

Speaker: Gary Christensen, General Manager States, Public Sector, Intersystems

Payers of all types - commercial, Medicaid MCOs, Medicare Advantage - are quickly realizing that clinical data is essential for their success in the rapidly-changing healthcare ecosystem. Those that have started to integrate clinical data into processes, however, mostly collect it through labor-intensive processes in a siloed, inefficient manner; single-purpose methods stymy reuse across the organization. What many of these payers don't realize is that existing technologies and standards are being used across Integrated Delivery Networks, Accountable Care Organizations, Health Information Exchanges, and even some forward-leaning payers to streamline and operationalize the collection, management, and use of clinical data as an enterprise asset. Learn about this widely-used and mature infrastructure and how MCO thought-leaders are using it to rethink processes to achieve better care integration, improved outcomes, and streamlined operations. Executing your clinical data strategy is easier than you might think.

Moving from Meeting Performance Goals to Excelling in Value-Based Care

Speaker: Jared McKee, Client Engagement Manager

Medicaid health plans across the country are being (remove) tasked with reducing potentially preventable health care services and improving performance. With millions of dollars at risk, health plans are using advanced analytics to dive deep and uncover quick and targeted quality improvement interventions. Once these performance goals are met, how do you begin to excel in value-based care? Applying a data-driven approach, health plans can begin to collaborate on outcome-based payment and new benefit designs that will drive innovation in health care payment and delivery. Based on case study examples, learn how to apply best practices to implement value-based payment.
