Aligning Physician Incentives
Learn how HealthPartners is developing new measures and incentives to move from driving volume in healthcare services to driving value, with the help of pay-for-performance programs, during a March 2, 2011 webinar from the Healthcare Intelligence Network.

January 28, 2011

SEA GIRT, NJ, USA — The alignment of incentives for both physicians and hospitals to share risk and reap rewards for care coordination is increasing in preparation for accountable care organizations (ACOs) and bundled payment pilots. During Aligning Physician Incentives for Shared Risk and Reward Across the Healthcare Continuum, a 45-minute webinar on March 2, 2011, the senior vice president of health and care management for HealthPartners will share how HealthPartners is aligning physician incentives and shared savings with pay-for-performance programs and a total cost of care initiative.

Find out more about aligning physician incentives.

  • Scheduled Speaker: Babette Apland, senior vice president of health and care management for HealthPartners.

  • Conference Focus: How HealthPartners is sharing risk and reward with its owned physician practices and its contracted network; the discrete cost and quality measures HealthPartners uses that embrace the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Triple Aim; methodologies for adjusting for risk in pay-for-performance programs and in setting total cost of care targets; and program results related to health outcomes, utilization of services and healthcare costs, including two measures significantly impacting cost and quality.

  • Webinar Formats: 45-minute live webinar on March 2, 2011, including 15 minutes of live Q&A; "On-Demand" rebroadcast available March 4, 2011; 45-minute training DVD or CD-ROM with printed transcript available by March 23, 2011.
