Presentation Slides

Pdf Summary

This presentation, led by Donovan Miske, explores the transition from traditional Fee-for-Service (FFS) healthcare payment models to Value-Based Care (VBC) and its significance for osteopathic physicians. Unlike FFS, which compensates based on the volume of services, VBC focuses on patient outcomes, quality, and overall wellness. Key differences between the two models include provider incentives, care coordination, risk distribution, and the nature of patient relationships—with VBC emphasizing collaboration, efficiency, and shared financial risk between payers and providers.<br /><br />Drivers of this shift include the rise of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), aiming to improve care quality, enhance patient health outcomes, and control healthcare cost growth. Notably, programs like the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) embody these goals.<br /><br />To succeed in value-based environments, osteopathic physicians must focus on education, healthcare transformation, effective use of data, patient engagement, negotiation skills, and collaboration across care teams. This approach encourages integrated and team-based care, improving patient satisfaction and population health metrics.<br /><br />The presentation also highlights available resources supporting osteopathic providers in this transition, including the Physician Support Line, AOA/AOIA educational webinars, wellness toolkits, practicing medicine web pages, and member services to facilitate professional development and wellbeing.<br /><br />Physicians interested in continuing medical education (CME) credits are directed to complete post-test and evaluation requirements available through the provided AOA online learning portal.<br /><br />In summary, embracing value-based care represents a critical evolution for osteopathic physicians to improve patient health outcomes, streamline care delivery, and participate in shared-risk healthcare models, supported by dedicated educational and professional resources.
