Incorporating Cost and Value into Practice Assessments

Speakers

ABSTRACT

Though traditional PCMH assessment tools can readily identify practice workflows, staff roles, and patient populations for the transformation work plan, these assessments do not capture vital information regarding a practice's financial, budgeting, and coding processes, resulting in a gap in understanding a practice’s readiness to participate in value-based payment (VBP) contracts. In this session, we will share the development process and framework for an enhanced assessment tool we created, including how the tool has helped practices understand their readiness for VBP and highlight the lessons learned from the implementation of the enhanced assessment tool.
