Overview:

The financial turmoil accelerated by COVID-19 has created a sense of urgency for senior care operators to consider a more sophisticated reimbursement model. The writing is on the wall for fee-for-service and the only reasonable way out is through risk-bearing options. But the only way to succeed at assuming risk is to be able to manage it well. For Hospitals, SNFs, Home Health organizations with limited resources, a one-size-fits-all approach is not effective; instead, we need to hone in on the highest risk residents and ensure we focus resources where they have the best possible outcome for all at-risk. This session will help you look toward the future, with comments on the state and progression of viable strategies taken by other organizations.

Objectives:

1) Describe the current state with Fee for Service

2) Explain why every healthcare delivery organization needs to become proficient at assessing and managing risk

3) Explore different risk-based strategies and models other organizations are taking

4) Learn about Frailty as an evidence-based model of risk management
