CMS Changes and the Future of Value-Based CareJennifer Houlihan and Jennifer Gasperini of Advocate Health discuss the impact of new CMS and CMMI leadership, current challenges in value-based care, and the future of ACOs, ECQMs, and Medicare Advantage. A timely conversation for anyone navigating the evolving policy landscape.Welcome to the Move to Value Podcast, powered by CHESS Health Solutions.In this episode, we're joined by Jennifer Houlihan, Vice President, and Jennifer Gasparini, Director of Policy, from Advocate Health's Population Health Team. Together, we unpack the implications of the recent administration change, explore what new leadership at CMS could mean for value-based care, and hear their perspectives on the legislative priorities they hope to see take shape.Thomas Royal Jennifer Houlihan, Jennifer Gasparini, welcome to the move to Value podcast.Jennifer GasperiniThanks for having us.Jennifer Houlihan Happy to be here.Thomas Royal So you both just attended the NAACOS conference?Can you tell us what are some of the hot topics that folks were talking about?Jennifer GasperiniI can get us started.I think it's always great to see colleagues at the NAACOs conference and was also great to see Kim Brandt, who is the deputy administrator and COO at CMS, come and share some of Doctor Oz's priorities. For CMS and I think a lot of those priorities align really well with value based care. So they they really spoke a lot about tackling fraud and abuse. And as you know, ACOs are really the early identifiers of fraud.And so really was pleased to see them talking about that and also using technology and better data really for beneficiaries and providers to advance care. And I think ACOs obviously are very focused on that goal as well.Jennifer, do you have anything else to add there?Jennifer Houlihan Yeah. There, in addition, there were some really good sessions on the new team model, the transferring Episode Accountability model as well as guide and a lot of thoughtful conversation around how to integrate these models into the ACO and a clearer path for outcomes there. So I think there was a great discussion and got to give kudos to Jennifer. She was part of a really well attended and fantastic panel on how ACOs are adapting ECQMs and MIPCQMs and some of the kind of demands and multiple issues that are impacting ACOs on how to do all payer adjustments leveraging some of these requirements. So a lot of really timely topics and I think then the kind of final was Specialty Care integration, I think continued to be a recurring topic that we need to think more deeply about that and and how those get nested within cost, so hopefully we'll see more about that in the future.Thomas Royal So there is new leadership in place at HHS, CMS and CMMI.What does NAACOS think this might signal for the future of value-based care?Jennifer HoulihanSure, I I can. I can jump in on that one first, so I think you know, looking at Abe Sutton, you know, as as Jennifer mentioned, Kim Brandt was there from CMS. But we've also seen with Abe Sutton's appointment, who's been a strong supporter of value-based care. I think the mood was mostly positive, that there has been sort of a lot of statements, whether it's in some of the confirmation hearings, or direct statements that value-based care and the need to achieve savings is is one of the priorities. I think there's gonna be some different thinking about more aggressive requirements for more savings and as as as we've seen already, some of the model review that's already taking place. The ability to kind of end models early if they're not achieving the outcomes and the savings. So I think the mood in...

California is full of hardworking people—nurses, teachers, delivery drivers, baristas—who keep our communities running. Many of them live paycheck-to-paycheck, making too much to qualify for most government benefits, but not enough to afford the basics. For nearly 2 million Californians, Covered California provides a critical lifeline, offering access to affordable health insurance and now basic needs support. Dr. Monica Soni, Chief Medical Officer of Covered California, joins Claudia to talk about the program's important and expanding role in the California landscape. We discuss:What the working poor really need: breathing room in their budgets to afford healthy foodOperating a startup within governmentHow collaboration across Covered California, Medi-Cal and CalPERS – which together cover 45% of Californians – will drive faster and more aligned health improvement in CaliforniaMonica's team uses experiments and user research to shape every aspect of the program:“But I do think in our DNA is this idea of innovation. In-house, we have a research team that does randomized controlled trials. We're committed to hyper transparency. Almost all of our data is released. We stratify it by everything we can think of to really identify where there might be pockets of coverage that aren't there or outcomes that are suboptimal. And we do a lot of deep listening with consumers and with the community to help inform what we do.“Relevant LinksRead more about Covered California's Innovative Program to Improve Population HealthSee the details on Covered California's Data and Research toolsAnnouncement of the launch of Covered Californians Population Health InvestmentsMore info on how Covered California uses email nudges for enrollmentAbout Our GuestDr. S.

So far in our series on bespoke care and innovation, we've delved into the future of cancer care and the opportunities for equity in precision medicine. But we can't conclude our series without talking about one of the most exciting developments in the field: cell and gene therapies. We've talked about these therapies on the pod before—but like everyone else, we've primarily focused on the payment side of the equation and looked at how purchasers and pharma can work together to ensure patient access. These conversations miss the voice of a key stakeholder: providers. What is the role of the provider organizations in realizing the value of cell and gene therapies? To answer that question, in the final episode of our series leading up to Advisory Board's Clinical Innovation Summit: Revolutions in Specialty Care, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board pharmacy experts Gina Lohr and Chloe Bakst to unpack unpack how providers are grappling with how to get these life-changing treatments to those that need them.

It's no secret that healthcare is becoming more and more personalized – or “bespoke” – as increasingly sophisticated diagnostics and therapeutics continue to explode into the market. This vast pipeline is redefining the industry in several ways—but there is real risk associated if the stakeholders responsible for developing, delivering, and paying for these innovations aren't baking health equity into their business models. Last week, in the first episode of our run up to the Advisory Board Clinical Innovation Summit: Revolutions in Specialty Care, we discussed Advisory Board's prediction for the future of oncology. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board experts Amanda Okaka and Fanta Cherif to break down the health equity conundrum presented by precision medicine: Will precision medicine reduce health disparities, or exacerbate them? The answer depends on the actions—big and small—of industry leaders.

There has been a lot of change in the oncology space in the last few years. These changes have brought new pressures, like workforce strain, increased competition, rising spend, and more. While many leaders are worried about the "right now," it is crucial to consider how you can best position yourself for the future of cancer care. That's why, in this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board specialty care experts Lindsey Paul and Julia Elder to discuss why preparing for the future means making changes today. Throughout the conversation, they discuss how current pressures are changing the field of oncology and four ways cancer care will change by 2030.

Last week, in part two of our series on value-based care, we talked about how CenterWell, Humana's provider arm, turned to senior-focused primary care to grow their value-based strategy. But as the Medicare Advantage market gets larger, older, and sicker, it is becoming clear that a focus on primary care isn't enough. The fact is, VBC in specialty care is the future. In part three of our value series, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites TJ Ackerman, Senior Vice President of Provider and Network Performance at Zing Health, to discuss what good specialty care in Medicare Advantage looks like. We also talk with one of Zing's provider partners, Will Stokes, Chief Strategy Officer at Strive Health, a leader in value-based kidney care. Together, TJ and Will discuss the importance of payer-provider partners in value-based specialty care. Links: Zing Health offers Medicare Advantage Plans in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.

This episode is also sponsored by PearsonRavitz– helping physicians protect their most valuable assets. Many primary care physicians have moved to a direct patient care model where the physician works for him/herself and does not accept insurance. It helps eliminate many of the burdens that lead to burnout amongst doctors. But can specialists do it as well? Dr. Lara Kenney is a hematologist-oncologist who says yes you can! She moved to this model in 2019 and talks about her practice. She also is the co-founder of Direct Specialty Care Alliance, which is an organization that is trying to help other specialists who are interested in changing their practice model as well as helping patients/physicians find resources for those who need referrals/resources. You can learn more about direct specialty care at DSCalliance.org or join the Facebook group Specialists for Direct Care.
