Session Description
Managing diverse and changing patient populations in acute and post-acute settings requires the alignment of care teams with clear processes, evidence-based guidelines, and fine-tuned care pathways to ensure continuous, patient-centric support. This session will focus on three elements of population health management:

First: Effective population management necessitates a strategy that aligns people, processes, and technology specifically fine-tuned across each stage of the care continuum. As value-based contracts replace traditional fee for service payment models, healthcare organizations need to ensure they have aligned a strategy and operational model that manages each individual patient from pre-acute, to acute, to post-acute settings. This segment will outline the key tenants to effective population management, including the necessary people, processes, and technology required to break down care silos, especially in post-acute settings, and align an integrated team and care model focused on each patient’s needs.

Second: One of the common challenges encountered by medical specialty societies is the lack of access to patient chart data. Without this data, the societies are dependent on physicians to self-report any changes in performance (except for PI-CME activities) and it’s very difficult to measure patient or population-level outcomes. The society’s registry originated as an option for its members in private practice to meet the quality reporting requirements that are now in effect. As the old PQRS program has transitioned into the new MIPS program, the society expects that there will be more demand for the registry since its use satisfies some of the MIPS reporting requirements. The society initiated a new QI program (primarily society’s registry) to help its members meet the quality reporting requirements they now face. Since many of its members are in private practice settings, they don’t have the support of a large institution that can provide these resources and the staff support to facilitate the reporting. The society plans to use this information to demonstrate the high quality and improved patient outcomes delivered by appropriate specialty care. From an educational standpoint, it expects to use the data to identify knowledge and practice gaps that can be bridged with additional education. This session will discuss some of the challenges involved in designing their educational program, improving learner participation and other outcomes.

Third:This segment will be a collaborative discussion regarding best practices from both providers and other scenarios posed by participants. The objective is not to come up with a “silver bullet” solution to problems. Rather, participants will have developed a specialized set of tools and best practices to critically analyze patient outcomes scenarios from other provider settings, where applicable.
