Payers and risk bearing entities
People who choose a life of caring — and the organizations and communities they serve — deserve a special kind of support.
Today’s healthcare industry is moving to reward quality over quantity. Under this value-based care model healthcare payers and providers must work together to achieve the triple aim of healthcare: improving the patient experience, improving the health of populations, and reducing the cost of care.
However, healthcare’s triple aim forgets an important piece of the puzzle. Clinician satisfaction and well-being. Unfortunately, administrative complexities are contributing to increased clinician burnout which has created barriers to the successful adoption of value-based care. This is especially true for primary care physicians who serve as the front door to the healthcare system for most Americans. Typically, these providers work with 10-14 unique payers – each with their own set of requirements and expectations.
Learn from Karen Johnson, PhD, Vice President for Practice Advancement at the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). During this webinar, she'll explain why payers are critical to helping physician-led primary care teams achieve success in value-based care.

Alan Swenson is the Vice President of Interoperability at Kno2, where his focus is on improving interoperability across the entire continuum of care. He is responsible for overseeing specific projects aimed to extend interoperability into hard to reach markets, and groups not previously part of government incentive programs to drive interoperability like post-acute. He represents Kno2’s partners and customers in industry trade associations and actively participates and leads in other industry interoperability initiatives, such as Carequality, CommonWell Health Alliance, and DirectTrust. In addition, Alan currently serves as a Member Board Director for NASL and is Vice-Chair of their IT Committee, leading NASL interoperability initiatives, including comments to the ONC and CMS interoperability rules and ONC's draft two of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).
Jon Elwell is Chief Executive Officer at Kno2. He leads the company in its mission to solve interoperability for the healthcare industry and truly transform the way patient information is exchanged. While Kno2’s Interoperability as a Service has its place in every care setting, Elwell initially focused on charting a course for the post-acute providers – skilled nursing, assisted living, behavioral health, therapies, and others – where interoperability was lacking. Now that 75% of the technology vendors who support that market are largely integrated to Kno2, Jon is currently driving expansion to the remaining healthcare sectors.
