ACO Basics: Practice Readiness
Presenters will teach participants how to determine if a practice is ready for population health and value-based care using tools such as evaluation “grids” and assessments. This includes evaluating readiness for downside risk and what to help them do to become ready. Information will include evaluation criteria and the process to move a practice from “basic to enhanced” in readiness as well as what to consider when adding specialists to the ACO.

It will describe an analytic process for identifying preferred specialists in an ACO’s principal market. Then it will present one ACO’s journey engaging with prospective specialist partners and developing preferred provider relationships. Finally, it will discuss approaches to coordinating specialty care more effectively through referral management, e-consultations, and specialty team-based care models.

Care Redesign: What’s Working? What Isn’t?
This session will include interactive tabletop discussions of three topics related to care redesign with each table reporting out the best options for positive outcomes and largest challenges in developing and implementing these features of value-based care redesign (I.e., clinical best practice protocols, secrets to implementing successful workflows and tools, staffing models for team-based care). Presenter will review where to start and examples of success or what hasn’t worked. We will group tables by organization type such as integrated health systems, smaller, provider group only, or FQHC, RHC ACOs, as well as a combination of the above types. The session goal is to provide peer-to-peer discussion and provide information to NAACOS to inform the needs of future education and advocacy and develop programs to bridge the information gap.
