LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Institute
for the Delivery of High-Value Care held its Spring Session. 100 representatives from 50
leading payers and providers across the country gathered together
in Louisville, Kentucky to learn
and share the practical applications of delivering affordable,
high-value care. Clinical, business and operational leaders
focused on how to keep care affordable by aligning payment,
delivery practice and organizational culture around population
health and value-based care. More information can be found here:

The Institute brings together payers and providers, often in the
same markets. "The Institute was a great platform to discuss
cultural change through listening to and sharing with others around
what they are doing, what successes and challenges occurred, what
was learned. Having providers and plans hear the same message on
culture change and low-value care was powerful and created great
networking and collaboration opportunities that will last." said
Dr. John Smith, Lead Medical
Director, Quality-Based Networks, Blue Cross Blue Shield North
Carolina. This sentiment was shared by leading providers in
the same market. "It's rewarding to be a part of a community
of peers where the interactions are about sharing and learning, not
selling and lecturing. RowdMap's focus on reducing low-value
care at the Institute for the Delivery of High-Value Care can play
an important part in helping provider organizations and health
plans in the same market figure out how to transition successfully
into new payment and delivery models," said Dr. Jennifer Brady, CEO, Carolinas Physician
Alliance.
Delivering high-value care requires information and working
across different parts of the delivery system and different types
of provider groups. "The Institute was a great collaborative
of plans and providers finding ways to things more
effectively. RowdMap's ability to look at data objectively
and change the conversation to one of high value (and not unit
costs) will help transform the way payment models work, said Kevin
Manneman, Chief Executive Officer of St. Joseph Heritage Healthcare
Medical Group. This sentiment was shared with the group's
broader network. "It was a great opportunity to collaborate
with RowdMap, Payers and Providers. Starting the conversation
related to value-based reimbursement and educating everyone in
attendance about High and Low value care will finally move us all
in the direction to succeed in a value-based model," said Dr.
Robert Del Junco, Vice President and Senior Medical Director,
Affiliated Networks St. Joseph Heritage Healthcare.
Delivering high-value care is a focus for health plans in
different markets, with different stakeholders across the delivery
system. "Beyond getting a deeper understanding of the various
ways in which RowdMap is being used, the event was also great
because we got to have candid conversations between researchers,
providers and health plans on how to solve our health care
dilemma," said Dr. Matt Collins,
Vice President of Clinical Integration at Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Rhode Island. High-value care
is a key to affordable care across lines of business. "As a
provider-owned, Medicaid organization focused on health and quality
of life for our members, we are increasingly challenged to reduce
unnecessary services to ensure that Kentucky families have access to the
high-value care that they need. We are grateful for the
national community RowdMap has brought to our state at the
Institute for the Delivery of High-Value Care in order to discuss
ways to identify and reduce low-value care," said John Burich, Vice President of Strategy and
Business Development at Passport Health Plan. High-value care
is a key to payer-provider alignment. "The Institute helped
align the high-value care conversation across diverse stakeholders
and emphasized a framework we can use to create win-win
relationships with our provider partners," said Jonathan Ryskamp, Provider Analytics and
Insights, Humana.
