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.——————– Timestamps: [00:00] Pre-Intro dialogue from Michelle Copenhaver[01:57] Introduction[03:02] Tell us a little bit about your background?[05:01] What is the importance of strategic partnerships in the healthcare industry?[07:15] Is there one partnership you’ve been able to coordinate that you’re personally very proud of?[08:21] One of your passions is helping healthcare providers transition their services from fee for service to fee for value.
