In a value-based care world, physician groups, ACOs, and hospitals are accountable for the entire patient journey. Therefore, their long-term success and financial viability are inherently tied to the performance of their network of post-acute care (PAC) providers. Likewise, as value-based care programs continue to dominate traditional fee-for-service care delivery, it is critical for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) to establish themselves as essential providers to their healthcare partners. Now is the time to align acute and PAC value-based care initiatives to deliver better clinical and financial outcomes across the entire patient continuum.

Hear from both sides of the spectrum with Real Time Medical Systems' Kathy Derleth and Phyllis Wojtusik as they discuss what value-based care means to both acute and PAC providers, and how communication, care coordination, and collaboration are vital to achieving overall value-based care goals. They will discuss the benefits of live data sharing as a tool to provide more effective care transitions, clinical pathway standards of care, risk stratification, lowered length of stay, reduced readmissions — all leading to reduced costs for acute care, increased referrals for SNFs, and, most importantly, better patient care.

Learning objectives:

  • Gain an understanding of what value-based care means for both acute and post-acute partners.
  • Establish a collaborative relationship with your PAC network and learn how that can drive outcomes.
  • Use live patient-level data to establish and manage effective clinical pathways, improve quality measures, minimize risk, and reduce hospital readmissions.
  • Generate additional referrals from hospital partners.
