Last month, MedBen Analytics offered several bundled payment webinars to hospital administrators whose facilities will soon take part in a mandatory Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program. The presentation from December 17 is now available for viewing at the MedBen Analytics YouTube page.
Entitled “Understanding the Final Rules: Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement,” the webinar offers attendees an overview of value-based payments and a professional analysis of the CJR rules. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will start the mandatory CJR program for selected health systems in April 2016.
Additionally, webinar co-presenters Kurt Harden, President and COO of MedBen Analytics, and Kimberly Hartsfield, Vice President of GE Healthcare Camden Group discuss practical next steps for best ensuring success in the CJR and insights for key savings opportunities. Attendees also are given an opportunity to assess hospital-specific historic performance.
MedBen Analytics will be conducting additional bundled payment webinars throughout 2016. Hospital, health system and physician group administrators who would like to be added to the webinar invite list are welcome to contact MedBen Sales Analyst Sally Wood at swood@medben.com.
Administrators that are interested in an analysis based on the lower joint replacement services using the Medicare Limited Data Sets for 2014 are welcome to contact Harden at 888-633-2364 or kharden@medben.com.
