Alternative Payment Models Conference: 5 key takeaways

LundquistA diverse group of healthcare stakeholders recently met for CBI's Alternative Payment Models in Healthcare Conference 2016 in Orlando, Florida.

After chairing the two-day event, my overwhelming observation is there is great reason to be hopeful about the future of healthcare-our evolving payment models are supporting great innovation across healthcare delivery systems.

The recurrent themes of the conference were population health management and the payment models arising to support achievement of the Triple Aim. Attendees included providers and senior leaders from payer organizations, health systems and big pharmaceutical companies.

Key takeaways:

1. Innovative organizations are already reaping the benefits. Speakers from PwC set the stage by reminding us of the convergence of forces offering momentum towards value-based reimbursement. While many health systems may not fully commit the necessary resources to support population health, most are beginning to make strategic investments in new clinical processes, people and analytics to support the evolution of healthcare, aimed at delivering better value.

Leaders, however, must fully commit for investments to materialize. For those committed, rewards are already forthcoming on strategic investments in managing the changing landscape of payment models and care delivery.
