Navigating the Road from Fee-for-Service to Fee-for-Value: Five Part Webinar Series Co-Presented with Hospital Council of Northern and Central California
The transition from fee-for-service (“FFS”) to fee-for-value (“FFV”) is a challenging journey for many healthcare organizations, but the stakes are high, and the ability of an organization to navigate the road to success in a FFV world is critical. Though most hospitals and health systems face similar strategic, operational, and financial challenges, the priorities, timing, and approach to preparing an organization for FFV will vary from market to market. This five-part series of webinars, co-presented by The Camden Group, a national healthcare business advisory firm, focuses on “stops” along The Camden Group’s “Roadmap to Fee-for-Value.” Save the dates, and register for these webinars today!

Ensuring Your “Engine” Runs Smoothly: Reducing Readmissions and Improving Patient Throughput
Hospitals and health systems must work on reducing readmissions and improving patient throughput in order to reduce costs and continue down the path to fee-for-value. This session will focus on how to take a structured approach to reducing readmissions that includes an assessment of your organization’s risk for readmissions, strategies for prevention as you transition the patient to post hospital care, and ways to improve patient throughput throughout their inpatient stay.
Presenters: Patricia Hines, Ph.D., RN, and Daniel Cusator, M.D., MBA, Vice Presidents, The Camden Group
Attendees will:
- Learn how a structured approach can jump start an organizations ability to improve throughput and lower readmission rates and common drivers of readmission and strategies to use to improve care transitions
- Discover how to assess an organization’s current process and identify potential readmission risk drivers
- Realize the importance of the Hospitalist/Care Management Team in improving throughput and reducing readmissions
May 17, 2012 – 10:00 am – 11:00 am
How to Take the Curve: Repositioning Your Service Lines to Deliver Value
Transitioning from the first to the second curve requires reducing costs and clinically integrating your services line. Learn how to reposition your services lines to deliver value through bundled payments, co-management arrangements, and more.
This session will enable attendees to:
- Assess their current service line strategy and identify gaps
- Understand the critical trends that will influence their service line strategy
- Understand critical success factors and successful strategies that could reposition their service line for a successful future

Engaging All Passengers: Hospital/Physician Alignment in a Fee-for-Value World
The journey to fee-for-value cannot be made alone. Physicians play a key role in the achieving the triple aim, and hospitals and health systems will need to learn new ways to strengthen their physician relationships, using a variety of strategies and structures. In this session, we’ll focus on different care and physician alignment models to engage physicians; including enhancing the success of medical foundations and outpatient clinics and implementing new care models such as the patient-centered medical home.
Presenter: Mary Witt, MSW, Vice President (pending confirmation)
This session will enable attendees to:
- Describe at least three alignment models and list their strengths and weaknesses
- Identify critical success factors required to create effective physician-hospital alignment
July 19, 2012 – 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Closing the Distance to Your Destination: ACOs and Clinical Integration
Becoming clinically integrated and/or functioning as an ACO is the last “stop” before truly delivering value and achieving the triple aim. This session will focus on the key aspects necessary for success: evaluating the infrastructure needs to effectively manage a population, questions to ask when exploring new risk models with payers, and organizational models and considerations for sharing risk with physicians.
Presenter: Laura Jacobs, MPH, Executive Vice President, The Camden Group
This session will enable attendees to:
- Identify the requirements for successfully implementing clinical integrated networks and ACOs
- Determine possible organizational models that fit their organization
- Identify questions to consider when developing risk models
