EDPMA Virtual Workshop: Value-Based Contracting – From Concepts to Reality

Join us for an EDPMA Virtual Workshop!

  • Date: September 4, 2024
  • Time: 1pm – 4pm ET
  • Location: Zoom (link to be sent upon registration)
What This Workshop Will Cover:

In recent years, health care entities have deployed significant efforts to transform fee-for-service payment into value-based models of care.  However, emergency medicine practices have not been proportionately included in these efforts, despite data and experiences that repeatedly reveal substantial opportunities to impact quality, outcomes, and cost that are essential to the success of value-based models.

Value-based models can take many forms, with considerable ranges of risk, opportunity, required investments, and clinical/operational demands.  In recent years, some emergency medicine practices have created and deployed value-based models.  Increasingly, there are common themes and metrics of interest including quality measures, avoidable hospitalizations, reducing ED bounce-backs, and addressing variation in clinical decision-making. Positive outcomes have resulted.

For many practices however, it is difficult to know where to start, how to proceed, and how to establish and deploy a value-based model.  This Workshop is an interactive session that provides background, information, and tools to empower your group’s value-based journey.  Experienced experts will share their own journey, their results, and lessons learned.  And interactive breakout sessions will enhance your learning experience with interested colleagues in our specialty.

Randy Pilgrim, MD, FACEP, FAAFP will provide a brief review of Value-Based Care (VBC) concepts for emergency medicine, fundamental program types, and examples of successful programs currently in practice.

Lisa Mauer, MD will describe a process designed to activate your relationships and local market awareness into profitable, winning contracts. We will break into groups to evaluate current situations that offer potential for VBC, including:

  • Establishing contacts
  • Identifying and assessing opportunities
  • Defining the program
  • Winning the contract
  • Implementation

Jesse Pines, MD will cover the fundamentals of measurement, benchmarking, and using data analytics to change behavior through a virtuous cycle of measure-improve-measure-improve, where success naturally leads to new, more lucrative VBC opportunities.

Lastly, our expert panel will lead a discussion entitled “Now What” to help energize our group of leaders to confidently pursue better contracts tied to value starting now!
