Ten Tips for Accountable Care Success TEN TEN TEN TEN TE Retooling for the Shifting Healthcare Landscape
That s right. It s time to retool. To prepare. Healthcare is changing and it s changing fast. A cosmic shift from fee-for-service to an entirely new holistic, pay for performance delivery model. It s a journey we are all taking together. With patient centered medical homes (PCMHs) and accountable care organizations (ACOs) fast becoming the direct routes to success. Maybe too fast. Maybe not fast enough. Either way, NextGen Healthcare is a seasoned HIT partner who can help you successfully on your way to ACO.

Use population health management and quality measurement tools to demonstrate achieved ACO goals. Involve your patients and measure success in their health and your bottom line with anywhere, anytime access to records.
THREE 3 Manage population health.
Engage your patients more effectively. Make healthy outcomes contagious among your entire patient panel. Improve the patient experience. Make it easy and convenient for them. Access is a key criterion for PCMH and ACO. So give it to them. Anytime, anywhere.
FOUR 4 Connect, collaborate, and coordinate care.
With patients, colleagues, and across your community s care landscape. While you focus on providing quality care, let the technology experts manage the technology. Avoid a loose patchwork of interfaced databases that results in isolated and uncoordinated care.

SEVEN 7 Implement the foundations for Health Reform.
MU2 Be ready for ICD-10, pay for performance, Meaningful Use (MU) stage 2, enhanced quality measures, and other Health Reform initiatives. Proactive automation saves time, money, and resources by reducing denials and through synchronized digital patient statements, claims, reimbursements, and appointments.
EIGHT 8 Measure and report clinical and financial data.
Track progress on clinical quality measures, MU, and operational core metrics. Compare results with national benchmarks. Connect and share data and results. Ensure you can access clinical and financial data that s easy to read and interpret graphically and intuitively.
