Value-Based Care in Action: From Contract Design to Operational Execution
This immersive, interactive workshop bridges the gap between how value-based care contracts are structured and how they actually perform in the real world.
Participants will gain a 360-degree view of value-based care, connecting contract intent to operational reality across Medicare Advantage, ACOs, and risk-bearing provider organizations.
Contract Foundations - What You’re Really Signing Up For
- Core principles of VBC contracts vs. fee-for-service
Key models: shared savings, downside risk, capitation, bundles
Financial levers: risk adjustment, quality incentives, utilization controls
Regulatory guardrails: CMS requirements, Stark, Anti-Kickback
Translating Contracts into Operations
- How contract terms drive:
Risk adjustment strategies (prospective, concurrent, retrospective)
Quality programs (Stars, HEDIS, member engagement)
Total cost of care initiatives (site of service, network strategy, utilization management)
Prioritization: what matters most this year vs. what can wait
Operational Excellence in Practice
- Building and managing programs:
Coding teams, home assessments, outreach campaigns
Provider engagement using adult learning principles
Oversight models for both plans and provider groups
