Webinar: Payer Best Practices: Improving Clinical Integration through Provider Partnerships

Now available on-demand | Duration: 1 hour
Hosted by:

To improve member outcomes, payers must take the lead in insuring that clinical information is shared among multiple settings and providers--from the physician office to the emergency room to the hospital bed to post-discharge care.

It’s also a financial imperative: Reimbursement models that reward accountable care and patient-centered medical homes can’t succeed without clinical integration. That’s why providers and payers must join forces to analyze outcomes and predict which patients can best be helped with disease management programs, medication adherence programs and other efforts.

This webinar will focus on the key areas of focus for effective clinical integration, including:
  • Using information technology to monitor care quality, identify at-risk patients and tailor interventions to populations and individuals 
  • Linking quality measures to reimbursement, including clinical practice guidelines and protocols to measure performance
  • Implementing best practices for identifying and combining a variety of provider- and payer-supplied data, including electronic medical record data and historic claims data
  • Creating partnerships between payers and providers that reward data-sharing from multiple sources and across multiple settings to improve outcomes and reduce costs
