Managing Director and CEO, Dr. Andrew Ziskind, presented at The Health Management Academy Fall 2024 CEO Forum on "The Future of Value-Based Care” along with Dr. John Warner, MD, CEO of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Dr. Alan Kaplan, CEO of UW Health.    Andy addressed why enthusiasm for value-based contracting has waned despite a fundamental belief that population health is the right thing to be doing. Challenges include unmet financial goals, shifting CMMI benchmarks, and post-COVID operational focus on fee-for-service revenue. Yet, the need to redesign healthcare around population health remains crucial.   Key insights:   - Contracting strategies need to include unit cost increases as a condition of accepting risk. - Organizations managing risk need to disproportionately focus on a small number of high-impact areas such as narrow post-acute networks, complex case management, palliative and end-of-life care and high-cost drugs. - Provider-sponsored health plans need scale to remain viable. - The future lies in adapting to market shifts and building sustainable, scalable care strategies.   For more information on THMA conferences and upcoming events: https://lnkd.in/ejmdSp8P Explore BDC’s latest insights and resources to stay ahead in healthcare trends: https://lnkd.in/eEn8mPin   #BDCAdvisors #THMA #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareInnovation #Leadership #FutureOfHealthcare

Keep our rurals open but if you really want to help get the foreign equity owned GPO that sets the pricing for our hospitals BANNED from our state. Economies of scale are used by Vizient against Oklahoma rural hospitals. If you have 13 tiers, hidden tiers, and tier maxes…that’s not a contract, that a free for all nightmare of a scam we all fell for. Their awful written tiered agreements force our rurals to pay more for the exact same items that our large hospitals pay less for. Example box of gloves a large hospital system in the state will pay 6-8 bucks for a box of 250 exam gloves. That same box for a rural EMT? 24 bucks. There is no price transparency and you are forcing patients who live in rural areas to pay more because of the lack of infrastructure by the corporations serving them to effectively and economically get goods and services to these hospitals. And distributors who whine about the cost of delivering to rural hospitals all while posting BILLIONS in profit every quarter are the first on my 💩 list. Let’s keep our rurals open but let’s make them more profitable so that they can continue to add much needed services and gainfully employ more community members.

Consider Cleveland Clinic, one of the world’s premiere healthcare providers. After receiving unacceptable evaluations in patient satisfaction and employee engagement in 2008, the Clinic launched a multi-phase initiative to embed Serving Leadership principles into its organizational culture. The results were nothing less than dramatic. When compared to other hospital systems in 2008, Cleveland Clinic ranked only in the 43rd percentile for employee engagement. In 2013, it scored in the 87th percentile—a significant improvement that also had a direct, measurable increase in patient satisfaction. You can do the same: https://buff.ly/3NHKtmL #servingleadership #centerforservingleadership #lead #grow #transform #increase

Activation and engagement are critical pieces to a #primarycare model that seeks to manage a population proactively.

And now for some judiciary action: A panel in Illinois is examining the consolidation of providers and payers, raising questions about competition, pricing, and patient access to care. "Judge Matthew Kennelly will manage a barrage of suits over whether how payers decide what to pay is legal." ... "Consolidation can lead to increased pricing power for payers, potentially impacting reimbursement rates for providers and costs for patients." Health care consolidation poses significant challenges for independent #communityoncology providers, impacting their ability to remain independent, their financial sustainability and more. While mega entities often tout that consolidation leads to improved efficiencies, the evidence is light. But there is plenty of evidence it reduces competition and drives up costs.
