Preparing You for Your Value Based Healthcare Career 2016

December 8th, 2016

Fee-for-service has been the predominant payment system in the healthcare sector for decades, rewarding providers for greater productivity irrespective of their clinical outcomes. But times are changing, rapidly, and a new value-based healthcare market is fortunately emerging. A transformational shift away from contingent, volume-based payments to alternative reimbursement models linking compensation to quality outcomes is now underway. As such, seismic changes in the business of healthcare are expected. Physicians entering practice will be confronted with this new paradigm.

The Hoag Orthopedics, in partnership with the Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center (Hartford, Connecticut), and Dell Medical School (Austin, Texas) were pleased to present this educational course for Medical Students and Senior Residents and Fellows in training. This course was designed to expose physicians about to enter this new marketplace to the principles of the healthcare value equation and some of the essential tools necessary to thrive in their careers.
