Join members of the Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging — a 2024 Hartford Business Innovation Award winner — as they share insights on their transformative growth, from partnering with a single hospital on care transitions, to establishing a multi-hospital, multi-service-line model of care that currently saves their health plan partners millions of dollars annually.
You will learn how your community-based organization can use this model to navigate the complex healthcare environment:
You will hear how Allegheny adapted and expanded program offerings to embrace new opportunities, while staying true to their mission and maximizing the positive impact to their payer partners and the community.
Additionally, the session will cover how to collaborate with payers on defining meaningful metrics and cost models that ensure beneficial outcomes and your agency’s financial sustainability. The speakers will explain how to collect and control your data to track performance, demonstrate value, and negotiate from a position of strength.
