Health care organizations are challenged to balance financial pressures with the need to provide high-quality, affordable, and accessible health care.
Providers must navigate a rapidly changing environment in order to remain competitive while improving the quality of care and reducing costs.
The healthcare industry is at an inflection point; A new generation of technology and services that will transform how we think about and manage our long-term health needs. Technology can be used for more than just symptom management; it can also help people live healthier lives through prevention, better communication with their providers, and improved self-management skills.
In this session, we’ll discuss how providers can move from fee-for-service to value-based payment models by using technology as a driver for better outcomes and improved population health management (PHM). We’ll also share some of our own innovative approaches including value-based reimbursement programs which have proven successful in helping providers improve patient engagement while lowering cost per case.
