This discussion featuring, Joshua Sprunger, Associate Vice President, and Amy Conn, Vice President, from Moline Healthcare, focuses on the need for collaboration between payers and healthcare providers to maximize limited resources and improve health outcomes. The presentation explored developing strategies that leverage each organization’s strengths, connecting patients with appropriate care, and using value-based payment models to incentivize positive results. Challenges include difficulty engaging individuals, sometimes requiring face-to-face interaction, and limitations in provider availability across communities were also addressed. The importance of a clinically integrated network (CIN) is highlighted for aligning systems, facilitating information sharing, and fostering innovation. Most importantly, practice transformation and a coordinated approach to care are key to reducing fragmented and siloed activities that inhibit serving members efficiently.

Key takeaways from this session include:

• Learn how collaboration between provider and payers is essential to integrated care
• Learn about a coordinated, patient-centered approach to population health management.
• Learn about how clinically integrated networks (CIN) strengthen relationships between payers and providers
