BOC’s Credentialing Director Matt Gruskin will be speaking at Medtrade on Monday, October 21st from 1:00 – 2:00 PM, presenting Getting Ahead of the Value-Based Care Curve.
Healthcare in the United States resides in a regulatory and policy environment that can be extremely complex and, in this space, running an effective business of any size can be difficult. Small- to medium-sized businesses face many obstacles, from keeping up with regulatory changes to competing in a marketplace with constant changes in reimbursement. The increased focus on value-based care is creating a paradigm shift for all stakeholders. Learn how DMEPOS businesses can prepare for and align with this new environment by adopting a value-based care orientation. This shift changes the focus from volume to value and redefines financial incentives toward reduced costs and increased quality. In this model, providers must think about the entire patient experience. This session also will provide a cost perspective that evaluates the total cost of value-based care; this encompasses all spending for the patient and the patient population as a whole grouped, benchmarked, and analyzed by condition. Learn how to take the first steps in adopting this model, which involve patient engagement, technology, and workflow. Attendees will learn how DMEPOS providers have the ability and opportunity to achieve value-based success.
Become a Certified Durable Medical Equipment Specialist (CDME) at Medtrade! BOC will offer a one-day workshop, “An Introduction to the Certifed Durable Medical Equipment Specialist (CDME)” on Monday, October 21, from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM.
