CMS’ new voluntary Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions (ACCESS) Model aims to expand technology-enabled care for Medicare beneficiaries with chronic conditions. The model is outcomes-focused and opens the door for technology-enabled care organizations and traditional healthcare providers to partner in supporting patients to prevent and manage chronic conditions. With an estimated two-thirds of Medicare FFS beneficiaries having at least one targeted condition, ACCESS has broad potential reach. We’ve unpacked the details on conditions, payment structure, participants, and timeline, outlining next steps for interested organizations: https://lnkd.in/ei_daw49 We’re keeping close tabs on ACCESS model developments at ATI. Stay tuned for more analysis and updates. #HealthPolicy #CMS #Medicare #HealthcareInnovation #ACCESSModel #MedicareFFS

As ATI continues our work supporting stakeholders on the new Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), we’re helping health systems confront a parallel challenge: long-term sustainability in the face of rising risk. Rural hospitals — and many community and safety-net facilities — face rising costs, staffing pressures, and declining reimbursement. ATI is working with health systems and hospitals to manage this risk and design community partnerships that strengthen financial performance and preserve access to care. One of the starting points is to look closely at geriatric cost management — building sustainable models with proven outcomes through value-based care programs in the community. Understanding how to care for high-need older adults efficiently and effectively is central to hospital sustainability and system transformation.

ATI recently modeled how potential changes to Medi-Cal Home and Community-Based Services could affect nursing facility utilization and program costs for the state. Clear data on population need, system capacity, and costs to states is essential as policy leaders look to understand options as they design care for the future.

In January, CMS will launch the Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), its most ambitious bundled payment initiative in a decade and the first mandatory, bipartisan value-based care model since Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement. TEAM isn’t just a new acronym in an already crowded space, though; it’s the blueprint for how Medicare intends to pay for specialty care in the future. ATI shares where our Medicare claims analysis data suggests TEAM will go next: https://lnkd.in/e26xg2-J #Medicare #Hospitals #HealthSystems #CMS #BundledPayments #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareInnovation
