Description
After this session you’ll be able to:
For frontline nurses, it is often hard to connect the dots of various payment models and care delivery systems and be able to articulate “this is how I contribute.” Nursing plays a critical role in how successfully an ACO manages the health of patient populations because nurses coordinate the plan of care and administer interventions that contribute to quality outcomes. It’s all about quality and efficiency in patient care, whether you are in the OR, ED, or on the general floor. Who better to do this than the nurse who is with the patient 24/7, guiding and educating the patient through the various episodes of care and helping the patient transition from one level of care to another?
Veteran leader Amy Bethel will outline specific nursing care interventions that OR nurses can apply consistently to their daily work that will impact patient care. She will also provide tools for leaders to use when educating staff.
- Describe the history and current state of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
- Understand the impact of specific nursing interventions in the OR that can positively impact the goals of the ACO.
- Explain the concepts of pay for performance, value-based purchasing, and the Triple Aim.
