HITEQ Highlights Webinar
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.

HITEQ Value Based Care Basics Series, June 2023
The Value Based Care Basics training is a three-module series. All three modules can be completed by health center leaders to gain a working knowledge of value based care and how to successfully implement it at your health center.

Companion Document to Video Module: Payer Data: The Managed Care Data. Prepared by Starling Advisors for the HITEQ Center in July 2022.
This checklist will walk you, the health center, through a series of common considerations for contracts you may receive from payers with a specific focus on contracts that include value-based payment components. This document assists organizations in understanding the necessary data and data-related tools for managing population health within a managed care environment. It is a primer on the types of best-practices that are necessary to maximize care delivery models that are responsive to value-based payment programs. Follow this checklist to further your understanding of these considerations and to help flag any outstanding issues for legal and/or consultant review prior to execution.
Checklist for FQHCs reviewing contracts, as a supplement to video module. Developed in 2022.
This checklist will walk you through a series of common considerations for contracts you may receive from payers, with a specific focus on contracts that include value-based payment components. Work through this checklist to be sure you understand these considerations and to help you flag any outstanding issues for legal and/or consultant review prior to execution of the contract.
Developed with Starling Advisors in 2022
In this 25 minute video we cover the basic mechanics of how FQHCs are paid, the prospective payment system, and how it is evolving over time. We also review the spectrum of value-based payment arrangements using the HCP-LAN framework as a guide. We also discuss the capacity needed to be successful in each of those payment categories. Patient attribution process, including why that data is so critical in value-based payment arrangements, and what questions to ask payer partners about attribution processes are also reviewed. Lastly, a real value-based payment arrangement and related considerations are reviewed.
Tools and Resources to Align Population Health Management Strategies Toward Value-Based Care and Payment
This toolkit is a compilation of tools and resources shared over the course of the Center for Care Innovation's Population Health Learning Network (PHLN) which convened 25 safety net primary care organizations over the course of two years to learn, share, build, and refine care models and implement strategies to strengthen and advance their population health management (PHM) efforts.
