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

FREE AAPC CEUs

At least once a week, I get a request for free CEUs. Often these are last minute frantic requests from coders who are less than 48 hours away from their AAPC deadline.  This can be a terrifying moment for both the coder and the organization that employs them.

It was those moments that inspired us to create ERM Academy.  A collaboration between ERM Consulting and mHealth Games that aims to bring high quality, on-demand education and training to all frontline staff.

For a limited time, ICD-10 Coding Guidelines for 2016, approved by the AAPC for 8 hours, will be included FREE with all Annual Memberships. That is a $199 value FREE!
