It Takes Two Wings to Fly: How HIE’s Digital Capabilities Coupled With CPC+ Financial Incentives Can Help Physicians Deliver Better Care at a Lower Cost

Room 3 (Pearl 3)
This presentation will feature a collaboration between HEALTHeLINK (HeL) and Milbank Fund. They recently completed a study aimed to examine how the use of population health analytics can help CPC+ members reach their goals. The study showed that to improve quality and reduce costs, financial incentives and digital capabilities are needed. CPC+ provides the financial incentives, and HeL delivers the needed digital capabilities to achieve incentives.
This study highlights that HIEs can go beyond their initial purposes, become integrated with the rapidly changing health care market and claim a central role in the data-driven, digitally enhanced model health care delivery system.
The presentation will provide an overview of HeL, their efforts to diversify their services and their strategy to collaborate with CPC+ members.
The session will also address the logistics of this project calling attention to the importance of coordination and the groundwork required for the successful implementation of strategic goals. They will also discuss the role of Milbank Fund in designing and motivating the alliance as well as provide specific details of the research study.
