Value Based Healthcare and Population Management

CSO 714 Subject & Catalog Number

Description

This course will provide students with an overview of value-based care and population health. As healthcare shifts from a fee-for-service to a fee-for-value reimbursement model, provider systems, government payors, and technology are adapting. In this course, we will aim to provide an overview of novel Alternative Payment Models that are driving the shift to value-based care. We will dive deeply into techniques and interventions used to manage the health of a population, including care management, site of care strategies, novel approaches to behavioral health, approaches to care in the home, and other commonly used interventions. COVID-19 has also accelerated the adoption of firtual care and has highlighted the importance of Social Determinants of Health, which are core pillars of any population health management strategy. We will focus on the essential role that data, analytics, stratification and machine learning play in achieving the goals of population health. Finally, we will explore the role of external players, like government agencies, payors, startups, Big Pharma, and other key stakeholders, in accelerating the shift to value.
