Policies governing health care provisions appear to be changing yet again, as legislators in Washington continue to debate strategies and plans.  But the sometimes contentious discussions often overlook a key point of agreement: the cost of care must be reduced while outcomes improve, especially for frail seniors.

Despite the transition to a Republican administration, a massive shift is still underway by the federal government from traditional fee-for-service systems to alternative strategies such as bundled payments that link outcomes to payments.

“Value-based care is here to stay,” said Brian Fuller, vice president of value-based care at naviHealth, a care transitions/solutions company based in Brentwood, Tenn.

The growth of value-based payment strategies will be discussed by Fuller at the 2017 NIC Spring Investment Forum, March 22-24, Hilton San Diego Bayfront.  He will speak at a session titled, “The Value-Based Care Revolution.”

Joining Fuller on the panel is Erik Johnson, vice president, practice lead for value-base care at Optum, a health services and innovation company. The session will be moderated by Lynne S. Katzmann, founder and president, Juniper Companies, a seniors housing owner and operator.

Attendees can expect to learn:

  • How value-based care will impact seniors housing and skilled nursing
  • What regulatory changes are likely in 2017
  • How the new Trump administration will likely approach value-based care initiatives
  • Where to find possible partnership opportunities with health care providers
