The History, Evolution, & Current Opportunity For Behavioral Health Providers In Addressing Population Health – Webinar Sponsored By Alera Health & ONEcare Population Health Academy
Gettysburg, PA. (October 13, 2024) – OPEN MINDS announced today an upcoming webinar, the first in a series from the new ONEcare Population Health Academy, sponsored by Alera Health in Partnership with OPEN MINDS. This virtual live webinar, will be held on October 23, 2024 from 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. EST.
This informative and educational webinar, titled The History, Evolution, and Current Opportunity for Behavioral Health Providers in Addressing Population Health, will discuss how the healthcare industry has evolved toward whole person care models and why these models now are considered essential for improving population health. By 2025, over 60% of healthcare payments will be tied to value andperformance-based incentives. The single biggest increase in value-based contracting is tied to care coordination services to address members with complex needs. This webinar is a timely reminder on why payers are keen on innovative and integrated care delivery models to improve care and lower costs, the lessons we have learned from early models of population health care delivery and incentive-based care, and how those models have evolved to the clinically integrated, and more successful models of care delivery today.
Mike Rhoades, Alera Health’s CEO, will bring his 25+ years experience in health system and hospital contracting to this informative and useful seminar.
“We have learned a lot from mistakes in early incentive-based care models, like ACOs, especially about the underrepresentation and attention to unmet behavioral health needs,” says Mr. Rhoades. “With behavioral health conditions driving much of the healthcare costs and outcomes, I am super excited to see the evolution of ACOs to clinically integrated systems of care that place emphasis on behavioral health, its integration, and influence on physical health. Health payers are keen on integrated systems of care (ISCs) to deliver on the promise and function of improved overall population health and it can’t be delivered without truly integrated behavioral and physical health.”
“I am so excited to have the first educational webinar, hosted by Alera and the ONEcare Population Health Academy,” says Carol Clayton, PhD, Senior Associate with OPEN MINDS. “The ONEcare Population Health Academy is a one stop resource for behavioral health providers who want to increase their knowledge of whole person care and population health and how to position themselves for success in evolving models of care. I hope everyone listens in and also joins the ONEcare Population Health Academy.”
This webinar will cover such topics as:
- What does Population Health really mean?
- How is Population Health Delivery different from fee – for – service delivery?
- What are the various models and structures that best meet the function and objective of improved population health?
- What is an integrated system of care (ISC)?
- How can I participate in an integrated system of care (ISC)?
Join us virtually on October 23rd, from 1 – 2 p.m. EST to learn more about how population health and value-based contracting are intricately linked and what you need to know to be “in the game” of population health. Register now!
