Specialty costs have long been a gnarly issue for ACOs, which currently have no ability to either steer or manage specialty costs. But Change is in the air, and it’s coming through ASM and TEAM, two large-scale specialty care risk payment models. Both payment models require referrals to primary care physicians for specialty patients and suggest that ACOs could be significantly involved, without more detail. In this webinar, we will do just that. ASM and TEAM are in fact a great way for ACOs to start working on the massive part of total patient costs devoted to specialty care – 40-60% by conservative estimates.
Roji has a strong background in helping providers use actionable data to make change to improve results and costs. Here’s what we’ll cover in this webinar:
· How can ACOs’ best participate in TEAM and ASM?
· What tools do ACOs have to help providers perform better on both cost and patient outcomes?
· What’s a high value network of specialists, and how is it determined?
· What advantages do specialists and hospitals have in teaming up with ACOs on TEAM and ASM?
· Can ACOs with no hospital ownership or funding participate with TEAM hospitals or their specialists in creating a high value network?
· What are the essential ingredients that go into a high performance network?
