Description
 
The state of Connecticut, much like California, is in a state of distress.  With Medicaid payment reform on the horizon and both states posing massive increases for 2018 budgets, the complexities of taking on risk have never been more difficult to navigate.
 
In a landmark effort, St. Vincent's Health has worked dilligently to redefine the ACO model, embracing a revolutionary concept around medical management and taking on risk for their population.  By forging unique partnerships with hospitals and physician groups in their region, with over 200 care transitions available among the partners, and unique organization-wide data exchange efforts, St. Vincent's Health Partners has remained financially viable in a state where Medicaid-based commercial revenue for hospitals and providers is falling.
 
In this session, hear from physician pioneer Michael Hunt, CEO of St. Vincent's Health Partners, as he shares the unique organizational paradigm that has saved his organization, and delivered value for patients across the state of Connecticut.
