April 29 | Value in Practice: Navigating the TEAM Model

Live Webinar

Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2026, 12:00 pm – 01:00 pm (UTC-05:00 / CST)

CMMI’s mandatory Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) is bringing a new level of accountability and coordination expectations to hospitals treating Medicare beneficiaries undergoing select surgical procedures. Designed to reduce fragmentation and improve outcomes across the surgical episode, TEAM shifts hospitals into a risk-bearing environment where they are responsible for total costs and quality performance.

This webinar will help participating and affected organizations understand what the model demands, and how to optimize performance. Break down the core design of TEAM—episode-based target pricing, two-sided financial risk, included surgical procedures, and quality scoring—and focus on the operational steps to prioritize as the performance periods get underway.
