Ask the Experts: Is Your Practice Ready for Value-Based Care
Ask the Experts: Is Your Practice Ready for The Big Shift to the Ambulatory Specialty Model and Value-Based Care Reimbursement?
Understanding the reimbursement model shift if one thing. Knowing whether your practice is ready for it is another.
As the transition to value-based care looms closer, pain clinicians and practices are facing important decisions about how to establish effective processes to comply with the Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM). What will Value-Based Care Reimbursement mean for patient care, clinical workflows, practice operations, and the future of pain care?
In the final session of AAPM's The Big Shift educational series, join Dr. Kayode Williams, Dr. KiKe Oduba, and Dr. Marie Hanna for an interactive fireside chat focused on those questions, and on what practices can do now to prepare for what comes next.
Building on the concepts and practical strategies explored during our first two webinars, our conversation on September 22nd will examine the clinical and operational considerations that can help practices assess where they are today and identify areas that may require attention as the value-based care environment evolves.
What You'll Explore
- Hear what the experts are watching now as ASM implementation approaches and what pain clinicians should have on their radar.
- Identify where your practice may be less prepared than you think, including potential blind spots that may affect success under the model.
- Get a first look at a new practice-readiness tool designed to help practices assess their current state and identify areas that may need attention.
- Separate what matters now from what can wait, so you can focus your time and resources on the most meaningful steps toward readiness.
- Explore the questions that remain unanswered and what uncertainty around the model means for practice planning.
- Hear how experts are thinking about real-world implementation, including balance between patient care, administrative burden, outcomes measurement, and financial sustainability.
- Bring your own questions to the conversation and hear expert perspectives on the issues affecting your practice.
- Leave with a clearer sense of what comes next, not just what ASM requires, but what your practice can begin prioritizing now.
A First Look at a New Practice-Readiness Tool
Attendees will also get a first look a a new practice-readiness tool in development with the support and integrity you expect from AAPM. The practice management tool is designed to help practices think more systematically about preparation and be prepared for the upcoming changes they may face, and the ultimate impact on your practice's business model.
Rather than approaching the transition as a single operational change, the discussion will explore how practices can begin connecting the pieces that will help them move from clinical care and outcomes measurement to workflows, documentation, data, and coordination.
Bring Your Ambulatory Specialty Model Questions for Our Expert Panel
This final session is designed to be a conversation. Expert panelists will respond to questions from attendees and discuss the practical realities of preparing for the ASM. We recommend reviewing the preceding two webinars available on demand to inspire your questions in preparation for the September 22nd ASM Ask the Experts session.
Whether you have followed The Big Shift from the beginning or are joining the conversation for the first time, the fireside chat is an opportunity to ask questions, assess where your practice stands, and begin preparing for what comes next.
