Presentation Slides

Pdf Summary

The document focuses on strategies for implementing value-based care (VBC) in cardiology by 2030. Hosted by MedAxiom, the discussion features key leaders including Dan Blumenthal, MD, MBA, Katherine Evans, DNP, and Gregory Sanders, MD. The session delves into the impending shift in payment models propelled by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which aims for all Medicare beneficiaries to be part of Medicare Advantage or accountable care organizations (ACOs) by 2030.<br /><br />Currently, 70% of cardiology patients are Medicare beneficiaries, with 68% involved in Medicare Advantage or ACOs. This shift underscores the importance of VBC, where specialists who adapt effectively can secure referrals by demonstrating high-value care. The transition is particularly advantageous for independent and entrepreneurial cardiologists prepared to engage with these emerging models.<br /><br />The document cites references emphasizing the transformative impact of the Affordable Care Act on payment and delivery systems, the potential of accountable care in Medicaid, and Medicare risk arrangements. The implication is that practices must invest and prioritize the transition to remain competitive and capitalize on the opportunities presented by this shift.<br /><br />Leaders from Cardiovascular Associates of America and HybridChart share insights and strategies on how cardiologists can adapt and thrive under these new payment models. The focus is on maximizing efficiency, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing the value of care delivery. <br /><br />Ultimately, the document stresses the need for proactive engagement with value-based payment models to meet future healthcare demands and align with CMS goals.
