Health plans and accountable care organizations have an opportunity to improve member experience while reducing costs through palliative care services, but are often challenged by timely identification and patient engagement. Fortunately, payers can achieve the same impact by encouraging specialty palliative care consultations during inpatient stays – and with much better engagement.

This session lays out what’s needed in your network hospitals, then presents three different strategies that health plans are using successfully. There will also be ample time for discussion about replication.

Learning Objectives:

• Learners will describe three strategies to introduce members to palliative care during a time of crisis
• Learners will assess capabilities in their own network hospitals
• Learners will articulate how inpatient strategies can strengthen engagement and outcomes in community-based strategies

Speakers:

Allison Silvers, MBA Chief Health Care Transformation Officer at CAPC

Braxton Bragg, MBA, MHA, BSN, RN Senior Clinical Program Strategist at Highmark Health

Lynn Stillman, Program Manager Payment Innovation at Elevance Health
