Summary

This seminar details the specific initiatives, programs, support activities, technologies, data analysis techniques, and reimbursement strategies that make up the financial infrastructure enabling an organization to function as an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and deliver accountable care in the event they do not formally structure as an ACO.

Learn how to construct a team that works together to support healthcare reform, eHealth strategies (including EHR and HIE components), key performance indicators, clinical quality measures, physician and staff performance, along with improving your managed care contracts.
