The 10 most downloaded Alliance resources and sessions of 2017

Dennis Bolin, Health Plan Alliance

12/27/2017


 

This year, Health Plan Alliance members collaborated in-person and virtually on a wide variety of topics, including: changes in policy and regulations, value based care, government programs, ASO market opportunities, payer-provider collaboration, risk adjustment, quality, social determinants of health, enterprise risk management, cybersecurity, clinical informatics, and much more. That makes for a lot of sessions and resources. While I'm sure you didn't miss one piece of the action, the 2017 list of most downloaded resources and presentations is an interesting reflection of the priorities and topics of interest to Alliance members this year.

Don’t miss a thing in 2018! 

The Health Plan Alliance team is hard at work on the 2018 programming calendar and has already published most of the in-person meeting events to the member calendar. To make sure you don’t miss any of the shared resources and events on the topics you care about most, review and update your areas of interest in your profile today. 

You can also help us make 2018 the best year yet. We’re always looking for case studies, best practices, lessons learned, or topics you’re interested in learning more about. Contact us to share your ideas. Don’t forget, as an Alliance member you can also share your home-grown or favorite industry resources with your peers anytime and can ask and answer your peers' questions through the Alliance member-only online discussion forum

Engaging providers through data transparency and performance insights
Shared at the 2016 Risk Adjustment and Revenue Cycle Management Value Visit, this presentation continued to be a popular member resource this year. At the end of the day, success in risk adjustment all comes down to complete and accurate documentation. With this in mind, HNE has leveraged their risk adjustment partner, Altegra Health, to develop a brand new physician engagement approach when it comes to risk adjustment. With a much higher level of transparency and conversation around risk adjustment data trends at the group, practice and physician level, HNE is working to engage their provider partners in risk adjustment in new and exciting ways.
