How effective and successful is your care management program? Are you capturing the appropriate medical necessity for each patient who comes into your facility? Are you current on, and knowledgeable about, all regulatory and federal guidelines for care management? Do you understand managed care contracting? Or the role of care management in denial prevention and appeal management?
An effective care management (CM) system is critical to ensuring patients receive sufficient transitions of care assistance and securing the appropriate reimbursement for the services your facility provides. Our Care Management Conference will help you learn how to efficiently care for patients and secure appropriate reimbursement for your facility by applying best practices. Regardless of the type of services provided to the patient, it is necessary that your organization establishes consistent processes to secure payment while also transitioning patients through the care continuum at the appropriate time.
With the constant changes in the healthcare landscape, the CM department is key to driving successful results both clinically and financially. During this Care Management Conference, attendees will learn how to appropriately manage resources by ensuring sufficient care, at the right time, and at the most appropriate level. Conference topics will include medical necessity, discharge planning, gaps in care, physician escalation, UR committee structure and engagement, and contracting, among others.
Join QHR Health’s Care Management team for this intensive two- and half-day education event, designed to help develop your care management skills through topical, best-practice, and hands-on education.
