Horizon BCBSNJ, Wellstar, & UC Davis talk interoperability & population health

[Ryan Hill]

Watch Part II of our interoperability series, as we bring together experts on opposite sides of the issue to discuss whether interoperability is the key to improved quality, decreased costs, and increased patient engagement. 

Our panelists will discuss the future of population health and the role of interoperability in the delivery of care and the switch from volume to value.

Our panelists:

• Steven R. Peskin, MD, MBA, MACP (Executive Medical Director Population Health, Horizon BCBSNJ)
  
• Jeffery Wajda DO, MS, FACEP (CMIO, UC Davis Health)
  
• Chirag Patel, MD (AVP, Medical Director Population Health, Clinical Integration, Wellstar Health System)
  

 
Our learning objectives:

• Is interoperability key to successful population health?  If it is, how do you maximize the value of interoperability?  How do you incorporate interoperability data into care delivery workflows to improve quality, decrease costs, reduce clinician burnout, and increase patient engagement?
  
• Will the pandemic and other pushes for value-based care (i.e. CMS’ Geo model, the rise in managed Medicaid) push the U.S. from volume to value at a quicker pace?  How can organizations prepare and be successful?
  
• What does the future of population health look like?  Are proper incentives from alternative payment models necessary to make it happen?
