Health care reform contained a number of care delivery models designed to improve outcomes and lower costs through collaboration.  CMS has built upon this with pay for performance and value-based purchasing.  This is leading to referral sources focused on outcomes and similar data.  In a healthcare world driven by outcomes and value, marketing as you always have won’t work.  Providers need to ensure referral sources will help achieve the desired outcomes.

This requires hospice providers to understand how their referral sources are evaluated and how the care provided may impact this evaluation.  This webinar will review the metrics upon which ACOs will be scored and determine the data providers may have to present to an ACO (or other provider) to receive referrals.  Learn how a hospice can make the case for palliative care services for chronic, but not terminal, patients and how this may cause a savings.

Join us for a review of the regulatory issues when partnering with an ACO and what that might entail for home health, private duty, or hospice providers, including the potential fraud/abuse issues and potential defenses.
