Register: www.CAPphysicians.com/aco | Complimentary to physicians and their office staff
Thinking about joining an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) or Clinically Integrated Network (CIN)? There are many factors to consider. What do you stand to gain and lose? Is it the right “fit” for you? What is the value for physicians, hospitals, and patients? Learn about potential risks and rewards of both options to help you decide if this is the right choice for you. Join us for a chance to hear from an expert, Mark Shields, MD, MBA, FACP, Senior Advisor, Navigant Healthcare.
In our upcoming webinar, attendees will learn:
- Benefits of clinical integration for the marketplace, physicians, and hospitals
- The key drivers of clinical integration
- The key aspects of an ACO contract
- Approaches to clinical integration and contracting
The presentation will be followed by a short Q&A session. For those who are unable to attend the live event, this webinar will be recorded and made available to our members via email.
Why Clinical Integration? Why ACO? Is part of CAP’s ongoing “Surviving and Thriving Through Healthcare Reform” webinar series – and part of our broader initiative to help members remain successful and independent during these changing times.
