Follow on Google News | Wellbe Announces Webinar on the Value-Based Musculoskeletal Service LineSpeakers are John Fink and Todd Godfrey, Senior Managers with ECG Management Consultants
By: Wellbe As healthcare reform continues to impact the provision and payment of care, hospitals and healthcare systems are challenged with redesigning the way musculoskeletal (MSK) services are delivered. Reimbursement and incentive structures are evolving toward value-based models and, in turn, organization must evaluated their MSK service lines to ensure that they are: · Integrated – MSK services must encompass the complete continuum of care and bother operative and nonoperative services need to be designed around preventive medicine, acute care, and post-acute care. · Scalable – Prevailing MSK service lines will be aligned with strategic partners to secure needed services and enhance market coverage, strategically and efficiently deploy capital for resources, cultivate population health competencies, and achieve economies of scale. · Rationalized – In addition to reducing costs and enhancing efficiencies, leadership of MSK services across a system of care increasingly must consider the consolidation or redistribution of key programs (e.g. Joint replacement) · Informed – MSK service line leadership will be well informed about potentially drastic shifts in the payment environment at the local, regional, and national level. Further, they will effectively leverage operational and clinical data to inform the decision-making process. · Responsive – In addition to being informed, high-performing MSK programs will exhibit lean, vertical, and proactive leadership and decision-making structures that decisively drive the organization forward, particularly during times of change and uncertainty. During this 60-minute webinar, John Fink and Todd Godfrey will share examples of how organizations are developing innovative MSK service line programs to keep pace with the shift toward a value-based environment.
