Summary
In this episode of the Value-Based Care Corner, John P. Carter sits down with Reyann Davis of APM Connect to discuss how hospitals and other healthcare organizations are preparing for a growing number of mandatory value-based payment models.
Reyann explains how APM Connect supports participants through education, shared resources, roundtables, and peer-to-peer conversations. The discussion highlights the organization’s work surrounding the Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), the Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM), and Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Expanded (CJR-X) model.
John and Reyann also discuss the growing role of specialists in value-based care and why hospitals must build stronger relationships with post-acute providers. As organizations assume greater accountability across the care continuum, collaboration with skilled nursing facilities and other community partners will be critical to managing costs, improving outcomes, and preparing for new models.
