ACCESS in Action: An ACO Playbook for Better Outcomes Without Fragmenting Care

The CMS ACCESS Model creates a new opportunity for ACOs to connect beneficiaries with technology-enabled care while advancing clinical outcomes and value-based care performance. Join an ACO leader and approved ACCESS organizations for a practical discussion on how ACO leaders can strategically incorporate ACCESS into their broader care-management and performance strategies. The discussion will explore how ACOs can use ACCESS to extend resources available to patients and practices, support priority populations, and potentially improve outcomes and performance. The speakers will also share innovative approaches for coordinating across multiple ACCESS organizations serving patients with comorbidities, while keeping the patient’s physician and care team at the center and avoiding duplicative services, conflicting care plans, and fragmented care. Learning Objectives By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: Understand how the ACCESS Model works, where the opportunity lies, and where the risks may emerge for ACOs, practices, and patients. Identify priority populations and evaluate potential ACCESS partners based on patient needs, ACO performance priorities, clinical workflows, and vendor capabilities. Understand the financial and operational mechanics of ACCESS, including how a patient’s primary care clinician or specialist may bill for reviewing ACCESS participant updates, how beneficiary cost sharing applies, and how ACCESS organizations are paid. Apply practical strategies for coordinating multiple ACCESS organizations around patients with comorbidities while keeping physicians and care teams at the center and reducing duplication, conflicting care plans, and fragmented care.
