Keys to Success inValue-Based Care Overarching vision, clear governance structure, andaligned operations Must define and understand the population 20% of the population drive the costs, 100%determine the quality of care Developing an ongoing care and populationmanagement organizational strategy Ensure IT strategy incorporates full breadth ofpopulation health and care coordination operationalneeds Need for Continuous Quality and PerformanceImprovement and Innovation:Montefiore: An Introduction – Revised 9/201539

Final Thoughts – Know Where You’re HeadedUnderstand your organization’s long-term vision andnear-term strategy for value-based care delivery.Who are your payer partners (commercial, CMS)?What other provider organizations are you aligning with?What strategic imperatives are impacting your timeline?Which services have the highest market demand?How much of your “infrastructure” (organizational & IT) are you goingto build vs. buy?Montefiore: An Introduction – Revised 9/201540

Final Thoughts – Invest WiselyDevelop your IT strategy for Population Health / CareCoordination around your organizational strategy & operationalmodel Who will you be sharing and exchanging data with? What are the key processes and workflows that IT needs tosupport? What systems (EMR, HIE) can you leverage for population health /care coordination? How will your current BI/Analytics strategy and solutions enablecare coordination? Push the vendor marketplace to develop innovative, agile,interoperable solutions and flexible platforms– Do not force fit workflow to accommodate inflexible solutionfunctionalityThink process first!!!Montefiore: An Introduction – Revised 9/201541
