Join the HITEQ Center for a two-part training on integrating community health workers (CHWs) as strategic team members in the age of value based care. In the first session, participants will explore the role of CHWs in data-driven activities essential to value based care, including outreach and proactive care management, and how these rely on successful use of the health center’s EHR and other systems.

Value-based care focuses on improving patient outcomes while optimizing total cost of care. For health centers seeking to improve their internal processes for value-based care, effective data visualization can play a significant role in understanding, monitoring, and promoting value-based care practices. This resource details how data visualization can be employed to support value-based care and includes suggestions on how to depict measures and trends using data dashboards.

Succeeding with value based care requires using and understanding your health center's clinical and payer data in new and more specific ways. This webinar discussed two key areas where health centers may need to build capability or new processes:

• Managed care payer and payment information to conduct strategic review of health plan contracts.

• The challenge and importance of coding specificity for adequate risk adjustment and quality measurement in value based care arrangements with health plans.

HITEQ will be joined by subject matter experts from Primary Care Development Corporation and Starling Advisors who will share resources for developing these areas within your own health center.

This Excel tool helps health centers conduct a strategic review of their health plan contracts - across all product lines including Medicaid, Medicare, and Private/Commercial - to ensure their organization's financial sustainability and capacity to expand services to meet community needs.
