2024 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Concurrent Session C: The Times They Are-A-Changin'

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video session, Joe Gettler moderates a discussion with several experts on the evolving dynamics in healthcare practice, specifically focusing on the shift from fee-for-service to value-based care models. Dr. Christian Payon, an orthopedic trauma surgeon, emphasizes the critical role of social drivers of health (SDOH) in improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Payon shares that hospitals are mandated to screen for SDOH factors like food insecurity, transportation access, and housing instability, as these significantly impact patient adherence and overall health expenditures.<br /><br />Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein discusses the implementation of automated patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in clinical practice. She outlines the importance of PROs not only for research but also for point-of-care decision-making, quality improvement, and insurance requirements. Wittstein advocates for leveraging electronic medical records (EMRs) and external vendors to streamline PRO collection processes, highlighting the practicalities of integrating tools within Epic systems to enhance compliance and data retrieval.<br /><br />Richard Mather and Brian Cole delve into strategic responses to the financial pressures facing private practices. They explore partnerships, private equity investments, and aggregation models to consolidate practices and achieve economies of scale. Mather and Cole emphasize the importance of adapting to value-based care models, which require robust performance measurement systems and effective technology use to minimize administrative burden and maximize patient care efficiency. They highlight real-world examples and lessons learned from their experiences in adapting to these evolving healthcare landscapes.
