The first in a series of Convergence webinars, Chilmark Research's founder John Moore joined healthcare policy expert Dr. David Muhlestein, PhD, of Leavitt Partners, and Harvard Medical School economist Dr. Michael Chernew, PhD, for a conversation about the growing trend of convergence in healthcare.
First, John Moore presents some background on what is driving providers and payers to more closely collaborate in care delivery and shared financial risk, as well as the core challenges to convergence and value-based care. Next, Michael Chernew reviews the findings from his recently published research on Medicare ACOs, including how payment reform affected utilization, quality, and savings for providers and the government. Finally, David Muhlestein explains intentions behind federal policies and why value-based payment models have not achieved widespread success.
To hear more from Michael and John about the government's role in provider-payer convergence and value-based care, join us for Convergence 2018 in Boston.
