TEAM Ready or Not? CABG Program Readiness in a New Era of Episode Accountability
Webinar Description
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) signals a fundamental shift in how CABG care will be evaluated, managed and reimbursed, with increased accountability across the full episode of care. But TEAM readiness isn’t just about participation. It’s about whether CABG programs have the clinical alignment, operational structure and data transparency required to manage variation, control post-acute utilization, and deliver consistent outcomes at the episode level.
In this webinar, speakers from MedAxiom’s Care Transformation Services team will explore:

• What TEAM readiness actually means for CABG programs.
• Common operational and data blind spots we’re seeing across the country.
• How high-performing programs are aligning surgeons, cardiologists and care teams.
• Practical steps leaders can take now regardless of required participation status.

Whether your organization is preparing for TEAM participation or simply trying to strengthen CABG performance, this session will provide a clear, actionable framework to assess readiness and prioritize next steps.
