With continued growth in value-based reimbursement models, healthcare organizations are seeking to align physician performance and to profit under these models.

The new U.S. Congressional proposal "Better Care, Lower Cost Act of 2014," which seeks to bundled payments for Medicare's sickest beneficiaries, is expected to accelerate this trend.

Listen to pre-conference comments from Greg Mertz.

During Physician Alignment: Which Model Is Right for You?, a February 19th workshop, now available for replay, Gregory Mertz, MBA, FACMPE, managing director of Physician Strategies Group, LLC, helps healthcare organizations assess which value-based healthcare delivery model is right for their organization.

He assists organizations to:

• Recognize shared savings opportunities and the care model necessary for success;
• Understand the economics of value and the return on investment potential;
• Explore physician alignment models that create a mutually beneficial business environment; and
• Evaluate which value-based delivery models are sustainable and where shared savings might be headed in the next 3-5 years.

This workshop will give you and your organization the time and tools you need to evaluate value-based reimbursement models, along with the opportunity to have your organization's questions, challenges and roadblocks addressed in this interactive program.
