CMMI and Value-Based Care After COVID-19:
New Opportunities to Address Long-Standing Challenges

Thursday, June 10th 12:00 – 2:00 pm ET

 

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) will be a key factor to ensuring the health care system continues the transition to value-based care as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on lessons learned from its first decade of experimentation with value-base payment and experiences from the pandemic that not only accelerated innovations in care delivery (e.g., virtual care, home-based care models) but also shone a bright light on long-standing health disparities, CMMI has the opportunity to act and implement models that not only shift how care is paid for, but also transform how care is delivered. Through a focus on care transformation, CMMI and its models can enable the delivery of a more comprehensive approach to care that addresses the physical, social, and other needs that impact the health and well-being of individuals and their families and communities and achieves more equitable progress in our health care access, quality, and outcome goals.


Join the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy’s upcoming webinar to hear experts in health care payment and delivery reform, value-based care implementation, and health equity discuss the specific actions CMMI can take to facilitate and sustain care transformation, particularly in the areas of primary care and population health, and address health disparities and achieve health equity goals. 
 

Meeting Objectives

  • Discuss the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation’s (CMMI’s) vision and strategy for enabling care transformation and promoting health equity through value-based payment.
  • Identify specific actions CMMI can take to facilitate and sustain care transformation, particularly in the areas of primary care and population health, and address health disparities and achieve health equity goals.


This webinar is part of a three-year, collaborative initiative between The Duke-Margolis
Center for Health Policy and West Health to advance and accelerate
value-based payment reform in the U.S. health care system.

This webinar will be recorded with links available here after the event.

In this white paper, Duke-Margolis proposes a vision for high-value comprehensive care and a set of steps for achieving it. The proposed pathway builds on the experiences of the pandemic, recent interest in and movement toward value-based payment (VBP) models, and lessons learned during the past decade of reforms.
