April 21, 2011 Webinar to Analyze CMS's New Medicare Shared Savings Rule, Advise ACOs on Implementation

ACO rule
The waiting is over: CMS's expectations for ACOs are on the table in the form of its Medicare Shared Savings Program regulations. Learn what's at stake and how to take advantage of the commercial accountable care organization opportunity during an April 21, 2011 webinar from the Healthcare Intelligence Network.

April 1, 2011

SEA GIRT, NJ, USA — CMS has issued its plan for the Medicare Shared Savings Program, but commercial accountable care organizations (ACOs) may provide greater opportunities over a Medicare ACO for forward-thinking healthcare companies. Analyzing CMS's Medicare Shared Savings Final Rule: Implementation Advice for ACOs, a 45-minute webinar on April 21, 2011, will analyze CMS's just-released final rule on Medicare Shared Savings and describe the rule's impact on commercial ACOs.

Find out more about opportunities for commercial accountable care organizations (ACOs).

  • Scheduled Speaker: Greg Mertz, senior project director with the Healthcare Strategy Group.

  • Conference Focus: The challenges presented to the ACO model by the newly released regulations; differences between the federal and commercial ACO model; when does the ACO model make sense for an organization; why a readiness assessment is critical to an ACO; and the biggest barriers to ACO success.

  • Webinar Formats: 45-minute live webinar on April 21, 2011, including 15 minutes of live Q&A; "On-Demand" rebroadcast available April 25, 2011; 45-minute training DVD or CD-ROM with printed transcript available by May 12, 2011. Participants may add a DVD or CD to their live session registration to share with colleagues. Learn more about opportunities for commercial accountable care organizations (ACOs).


QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:

"The industry is breathing easier with the Medicare Shared Savings rules on the table for comment, but the reality is that a commercial ACO might prove more attractive and less restrictive to both payors and providers. This upcoming webinar will define opportunities for healthcare organizations to participate in and profit from commercial ACO activity."
