Practical Tips For Creating a Population Health Program in a Primary Care Practice
Winonah Hoffman, B.S.N., R.N., Nursing Manager of Population Health and Clinical Quality, Austin Regional Clinic, P.A.
Population health management requires a comprehensive approach to successfully advance healthcare quality, access, and outcomes, particularly in the world of value-based care. This presentation will highlight best practices and lessons learned for incorporating population health at a primary care practice. Winonah Hoffman will highlight how Austin Regional Clinic:
Leverages existing patient data and information from payers to identify at-risk patients
Empowers practice staff to close care gaps and proactively schedule visits
Leverages Medicare Wellness Visits to help patients receive more complete care while meeting payer quality metrics
Helps clinical staff make the transition from volume to value
Participants will leave this presentation with solutions to common population health challenges and ideas for designing or refining their primary care practices to meet their quality and performance objectives.

The Final Frontier: Post-acute Network Development and Optimization
Philip Oravetz, M.D., M.P.H., M.B.A., Medical Director, Accountable Care, and Mark Green, M.B.A., PMP, LSSBB, System AVP, Post-Acute Care Network and Transition Management, Ochsner Health System
Post-acute services at medical groups and health systems have typically been operationalized as a separate care setting with little to no bi-direction collaboration. As payments move from fee-for-service to value-based models, reimbursement models change, and quality-based penalties reach across the post-acute space, the value proposition for both acute and post-acute services is great enough to drive meaningful relationships.
Participants will learn from Ochsner Health Systemās leadership about their standardized approach to developing and optimizing a post-acute network and the impressive results. Dr. Phil Oravetz and Mark Green will share strategies and insights that can be applied at your medical group or health system, including: how to understand data; build and manage a network; employ programs, such as bed assistance, home health recertification, and SNF readmission reduction; and measure results.
