Physician Led Risk Contracting Facilitates Improved Healthcare Quality and Value for Patients
Stuart A. Rosenberg, M.D. , President and CEO , Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians

Healthcare reform is being pushed through legislative, regulatory, and market based initiatives. One of the strongest mechanisms to generate improvement in the value of patient care is for providers to implement a well-designed, incentive-driven $PMPM contract with a major payer. This is s daunting undertaking for which most medical groups are not prepared.

This presentation will describe the market dynamics and analysis that led a large academic group practice and associated private practice IPA to undertake such a model with the largest insurer in the state, Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA. For a variety of reasons the academic Medical Center did not join the risk bearing part of this contract. We will discuss the details of how physician groups can take the lead in changing local market dynamics through innovative at risk contracting even when hospital partners may not be ready, willing or able to do so.
