HEALTHCARE REFORMKey Concepts
Value-Based Purchasing“Tearing Down the Silos”Outcomes-Based ReportingPost-Acute Integration
HOW CAN YOU OFFER VALUE?
UNDERSTANDING YOUR KEY ACCOUNTWhich DRG’s are important to me?
Where does the hospital tend to send these patients by site of care? Which specific facilities/agencies?
How do they compare to their region/state and best practices?
Do they have a length of stay issue?How elderly is their patient population(80+)?
HOSPITAL RE-ADMISSIONS
Quartiles will compress over time
PROMOTING PERSONAL CAREDoes the hospital have a re-admissions issue?
Are they participating in an ACO or post-acute bundling demonstration project?
How do you prevent re-hospitalization?Falls programMedication managementPhysician visit assistance
SELLING @THE C-LEVELOutcomes orientedLimited access; fewer times at bat; more at
stakeMultiple agendasCommunicating and getting feedback more
difficultNeed to work thru several layers of the
organization; implementing decisions can be lengthy
CONCLUSIONSKnow your market to set realistic expectations
Target the “right” physicians to maximize sales rep productivity
Plan your key account strategy to optimize your face time opportunities
