CMO joins panel of experts who reveal new
opportunities to achieve the quadruple aim
Health Dialog, a leading provider of integrated population
health management solutions for health plans, risk-bearing
providers and self-insured employers, and RediClinic, a leading
operator of convenient care clinics, announced today that their
Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Peter Goldbach, will share successful
strategies for improving the health of entire populations at a
panel discussion in Boston on October 5. Dr. Goldbach will address
the role of shared decision making (SDM), convenient care and
integrated population health management in advancing value-based
healthcare and achieving the goals of the quadruple aim, improving
population health, increasing patient satisfaction, reducing
healthcare costs and ensuring the well being of the care team.
The panel discussion will take place at Convergence 2017, a
Boston-based conference of healthcare leaders whose successful
transition to value-based care is distinguished by the use of
innovative provider-payer convergence strategies. Dr. Goldbach will
share his view of provider-payer convergence, calling it a
“reconvergence” of time-tested alliances powered by the move to
fee-for-value reimbursement. Today’s reconvergence benefits from
new treatment models, better data sources, new analytics as well as
new technologies that facilitate patient-centric care, provider
satisfaction and lower healthcare costs. He will describe how
integrating strategies such as SDM, population health programs that
reach all members and convenient care can help organizations
achieve these goals and hasten the transition to value-based
healthcare.
“There are a multitude of highly effective opportunities for
payers, providers and even employers to work together to deliver
higher quality care that’s patient-centric, cost-effective and
assures greater provider and patient satisfaction,” said Dr.
Goldbach, Chief Medical Officer for both Health Dialog and
RediClinic. “This week’s conference highlights the convergence
pioneers, the forward-thinkers who boldly conceived, tested and
championed these strategies in an unwelcoming fee-for-service
environment. Their collective experience offers new, innovative
models for other early movers on the path to value-based care.”
During the panel, Dr. Goldbach will reveal how provider-payer
alignment around SDM can achieve happier patients and providers
while significantly reducing the cost of care. A 20-year-old
practice, SDM helps patients choose evidence-based and often less
invasive care, achieve better outcomes and be happier with both
their care and their provider by engaging them in their treatment
choice. Many of the nation’s leading medical organizations endorse
the use of SDM, including the Institute of Medicine, U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force and the American Medical
Association.
Convenient care offers exceptional opportunities for
provider-payer convergence that have an immediate and profound
impact on cost, access to care and patient and provider
satisfaction. Citing the experience gained through joint ventures
with the nation’s leading ACOs, Dr. Goldbach will demonstrate how
convenient care is an attractive way to engage the 40 percent of
patients who enter retail care clinics without a prior PCP
relationship. He’ll also show how retail care partnerships can help
organizations deliver high-quality care at a lower cost in a
convenient setting patients appreciate.
Working together, payers, providers and even employers can
leverage tools like SDM and convenient care to improve population
health success by engaging with patients who may not have
previously engaged with the healthcare system. However, technology
must also evolve. Dr. Goldbach will discuss advanced analytics that
can identify “the silent middle” in a population, those quietly
developing undiagnosed disease. Data show this group is responsible
for 53 percent of an organization’s cost; technology that reaches
them offers unprecedented opportunity to improve overall population
health.
The panel, ““Engagement: Shared Objectives, Shared Goals –
Disparate Processes,” is scheduled for Thursday, October 5, 2017 at
4:15 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Boston.
