Whether your hospital system is pursuing an accountable care organization or a broader program of clinical integration, the real work of creating high-value, cost-effective healthcare is in transforming the systems of care. But the solutions may not be as big and unmanageable as you think.
Physician engagement may mean developing leaders and renewing the physician compact, not necessarily full employment. Preserving a patient’s health and coordinating care can happen whether you are financially at-risk for that patient or not. And you don’t have to be an integrated delivery system to learn their proven secrets to higher-quality, lower-cost systems of care.
Join us on June 9 live from Gundersen Lutheran Health System, featuring Gundersen’s clinical and executive leadership team and invited guests Fairview Health Services and Aurora Health Care, national health system pioneers in high-quality, lower-cost healthcare. The event includes a roundtable discussion—and Q&A—with lessons learned from top executives, including how to:
- Raise quality at lower cost with a laser focus on complications, mortality, and end-of-life care
- Shift from a system based on volume and prestige to one based on hard data and outcomes
- Engage physicians in a new accountability structure that maximizes hospital and physician performance
- Preserve the health and coordinate the care of all patients, from an IDS’ perspective
- Manage the health of the elderly population using teams and real-time telehealth information, from a top health system that's implemented the program in in 40-plus hospitals
- Operationalize an innovation that makes geriatric specialty care available through teleconferencing
