As payers continue to move away from a fee-for-service reimbursement model, towards a new paradigm that rewards value over volume. Health system mergers and consolidations are giving rise to a new group of megasystems — many of which operate accountable care organizations (ACOs) — who will be looking for partners who can scale, presenting a significant opportunity for the retail industry.
To help key healthcare stakeholders and industry professionals better understand the important role retail clinics and pharmacy will play in a healthcare delivery system that touts ACOs and Patient Centered Medical Home models, Drug Store News and the Convenient Care Association will host the exclusive webinar, “Emerging Payment Models, presented by S. Lawrence Kocot, principal and national leader, Center for Healthcare Regulatory Insight, KPMG.
Slated for Wednesday, December 9, the webinar will help participants gain an understanding of the payment reform landscape; learn about emerging new payment models and how they impact competition in health care markets; and learn about the opportunities and challenges of the move from a volume to value health care payment delivery system.
