The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has set a goal of having 100% of traditional Medicare beneficiaries and the vast majority of Medicaid beneficiaries in accountable care relationships by 2030. Many primary care practices serving the long-term care (LTC) population have experienced limitations in successfully participating in accountable care organizations. This session will explore the challenges and successes related to caring for this vulnerable population and how to succeed in improving outcomes for patients while improving practice outcomes in a Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) ACO. The session will feature a case study of an MSSP ACO that focuses on the LTC population. Hear clinical and operational perspectives on the strategies employed to transform care
Learning Objectives:
Assess the care transformation barriers for primary care practices that primarily serve the long-term care population
Evaluate strategies deployed over time in one MSSP ACO to drive improvements to patient outcomes (including AI, data sharing and care compacts)
Compare emerging resources to support the long-term care population
