His purview includes national-level programs and activities such as the National Insider Threat Task Force; personnel security and background investigations; continuous evaluation; information technology protection standards and compliance; CI cyber operations; supply chain risk management; threat awareness to sectors of the U.S. critical infrastructure; national-level damage assessments from espionage or unauthorized disclosures, CI mission management, and national CI and security training programs.

What is it that physician-lead organizations bring to the American healthcare system? We are uniquely qualified to bring healthcare that meets the quadruple aim—providing care that is high quality, high value, engages providers, and lowers cost for employers, insurers, government, patients, and private equity. This “secret sauce” has been developed over years of entrepreneurial experience coupled with a clear strategic vision, driving future opportunities in healthcare.

This session sets the stage for the following sessions, in which Physician Hospitals of America (PHA), the PHA Governing Board leadership, members and industry experts will provide insight into the strategic vision for the future success of physician lead care and how physician-owned facilities will drive this agenda.

Leading physician-owned hospitals (POHs) have developed an orthopedic bundled payment model – which would qualify as an Advanced APM – to present to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center. The model would test the impact of a program that includes bundled payments for hip, knee, and shoulder replacements and spinal stenosis and special initiatives which include care management and data transparency programs. The model will demonstrate the value of POHs in advancing quality and health outcomes for Medicare benefciaries, while reducing Medicare program costs. This session will provide an overview of the program and the strategy for success.

 

Establishing a PHA “Centers of Excellence” entity for group purchasing will create new opportunities to add value for existing and potential members, and ensure relevance of physician-led institutions. How do physician-led organizations capture opportunities that will move the quadruple aim and advance specific goals? During this session, explore a case study about Haven, the new Amazon/Berkshire-Hathaway/J.P. Morgan joint venture that seeks to tackle rising costs in healthcare.

Physician-owned hospitals have unique stories to tell about providing higher value care. Two case studies will explore how POH are leveraging higher value care to generate new business. CEO Nick Genna will explain how Treasure Valley Hospital in Idaho has used demonstrably higher quality and lower cost to persuade Blue Cross to migrate cases from higher cost settings. Dr. Joseph Alhadeff will discuss how OSS Health in Pennsylvania tailors their value message to different audiences

Cut through the noise of the latest political news and get up-to-date on the current situation in Congress. Denise Morrisey of Capitol Counsel will discuss the legislative environment and how PHA is working to provide relief from section 6001 of the Affordable Care Act and support POHs nationwide.

In this fast-paced, interactive session, peer presenters share an interesting problem they have faced and the solution they identified to address it. Each presenter will have five minutes to present their question, issue, or situation and the solution they utilized. Audience members will have three minutes to ask questions.
