2022 HCC Risk Adjustment Tools for Physicians and Coders

 

Is Your Team Risk Ready?

Arm Your Team For Combat This Risk Adjustment Season!

Prepare for Victory...

What will define those who claim victory and those who are defeated in the battle towards value based care? Will it be those organizations with the most money, power and seats at the table? Or will it be those who are nimble, flexible and open to change?

I believe it will be both. As victory will not be defined by the owners and head coaches but instead by how the players execute on the field. It will be the game time decisions that matter most. A quarterback who can read the defense and adjust accordingly will provide far greater value to the offense than the most athletic quarterback who misses the blitz every time.

Perhaps Napoleon said it best, "Battles are won by the power of the mind." For in a game of inches, the winners and losers will be defined by those who can execute in the moments that matter most. Prepare your team for victory with information at the point of care!

Creating Value in Health Care

 


APPROVED by the AAPC for 4 CEUs - $12.99

On-Demand Course Overview:

We insist on value when we buy our lunch, our car, our clothes, and our home. Why not in healthcare?

Since 2015, the US has been transitioning from a fee-for-service payment system to one based on value. This on-demand course will introduce the concepts of value-based care, population health and social determinants of health with highlights from Dr. Hart’s new book, “Value in Health Care”. By active creation of value in healthcare, we can rein in costs while improving quality outcomes and the experience of patients and providers. 

A journey toward sustainable healthcare with improved results.

“When we identify individual-level social risk factors, we can devise interventions to address them specifically or collect data to understand where community-level interventions might improve a population’s health.”

— Jon Hart, MD MBA
