Risk Adjustment & Quality Micro Summit 2021

Event Date: 2/9/2021 - 2/10/2021

Event Overview

 

Join your Alliance colleagues to dig into real-life examples of how provider sponsored, regional and independent health plans across the US are meeting clinical integration and risk adjustment challenges during the pandemic — and to share plans for strategic initiatives poised to launch in a post-COVID world. 



Event highlights

This virtual summit is two days of focused sessions, with Alliance members leading the faculty with case studies that outline efforts on the ground. What big wins have health plan leaders achieved when it comes to risk adjustment, quality, and clinical outcomes? What lessons learned from initiatives and pilots that didn’t go as expected? And what efforts are underway now with an eye on the future? 

Topics include:

  • How internal partnerships between quality, risk adjustment, enterprise analytics, contracting and the actuarial teams are fueling the journey to clinical integration
  • Leveraging performance improvement projects to improve at-risk Quality measures: How one Alliance member did it in their Medicaid ACO
  • Technology and interoperability opportunities (think NLP, EHRs and FHIR)
  • Big changes when it comes to members with ESRD: How health plans can meet these new challenges and ensure they’re reimbursed appropriately for these members
  • How Avera challenged themselves to take on a “wildly important goal” – and the powerful impact they saw on risk adjustment and quality when they achieved it



Who should attend

  • VP/Director/Manager of Risk Adjustment
  • VP/Director/Manager of Quality
  • VP/Director/Manager of Population Health
  • VP/Director/Manager of Care Management
  • VP/Director/Manager of Medicaid / Government Programs 



Join the Risk Adjustment & Quality Learning Collaborative


This collaborative marries two of our most active peer groups for robust sharing on topics like retrospective and prospective risk adjustment strategies, HCC capture and coding best practices, and tackling HEDIS, CAHPS, HOS and star rating quality measures in the new COVID-19 environment.
