Topic: Preparing for Value-Based Care in Private Duty Services

In this edition of HCAF’s Private Duty Lunch Chat, we will discuss the evolving landscape of health care and the crucial role that non-medical providers can play as supportive partners to other stakeholders in our industry. 

As the health care landscape shifts towards value-based care, it's essential for non-medical providers to proactively prepare for this transformative change. Guy Tommasi, a seasoned expert in the field, will share invaluable insights into why and how non-medical providers should embrace this shift in care assessment and payment methodologies. Highlights to be included:

1. Strategic Partnerships: Non-medical providers can play a significant role as supportive allies to other health care providers and stakeholders. These collaborative efforts can enhance overall patient care and help grow your business.
2. Data-Driven Decision-Making: Data is critical in the era of value-based care. Learn about key data points that non-medical providers should start collecting to demonstrate their value proposition. Gain practical insights on utilizing this data to communicate effectively with referral sources, payors, and collaborating providers.
3. Future-Proof Your Services: Align your services with the changing expectations of the industry, ensuring sustainability and success.

Start thinking about how to stay ahead of the curve and position your non-medical services for success in the era of value-based care. Join us for an engaging Zoom session that promises to get you thinking towards the future.
