Program Description

The healthcare marketplace is undergoing seismic changes and despite the uncertainties of the political landscape, healthcare organizations across the county are diving into initiatives that will help them succeed under emerging models.

In this new environment, case managers are quickly becoming essential players as hospital execs and case management program leaders recognize that business as usual won’t support tomorrow’s value proposition. The future requires care coordination for selected, high-risk patient populations in the hospital and across the continuum to improve patient care outcomes, increase efficiency, and reduce the costs of care. Care coordination as an enterprise-wide core competency will engage consumers, promote continuity, and create opportunities to grow and thrive.    

Join us for this one-day program which highlights the current marketplace, the disruptions in care delivery and payment models, and the innovative impact on traditional hospital case management programs.  The essential components of NexGen, value-based hospital case management programs will be explored and we will briefly tackle the changing landscape of utilization review and the role of the Utilization Review Committee.  

Who Should Attend

This course was developed at the request of hospital executives to provide a broad overview of the value based environment and the transition from traditional case management departments to care coordination programs across the enterprise.  It is perfect for leadership and front-line staff directly or indirectly responsible for any aspect of the patients’ progression-of-care through the continuum.  This includes ED leadership team, social service personnel, utilization review specialists, ACO leaders, nurse managers, revenue cycle representatives, hospitalists, care/case managers, admissions and bed management personnel, quality/performance improvement professionals, physician advisors, contract coordinators, the C-suite team and Board representatives. Program content is applicable to large academic teaching facilities, community hospitals, LTACHs, rehab facilities, and Critical Access Hospitals.
