This presentation focuses on how the integrated model of care developed by Advocate Physician Partners to align physicians, patients, and payers was successfully transitioned to an accountable care-type model, a shared savings model designed to drive enhanced collaboration among physicians, hospitals, payers, and employers. It will explore how governance, technology, financial models, evidence-based medicine, and other measures improve quality and efficiency.
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to describe a governance structure and physician alignment model supporting cultural change for thousands of independent and employed physicians; describe a model of care that integrates all stakeholders, physicians, patients, and payers with a common goal to improve quality and value of care; design an infrastructure with proven outcomes that impacts clinical care, efficiency, medical & technological infrastructure, patient safety, and patient experience; establish a financial funding model which includes a pay-for-performance incentive, aligning physicians and improving clinical outcomes; describe the use of information technology to support all stakeholders in the delivery of care; identify how to take an existing infrastructure to the next level by incorporating Medical Home and Accountable Care guidelines; and develop a shared savings model that reduces waste and improves care coordination throughout the continuum, resulting in lower costs and more appropriate and effective care for the patient.
