How will value-based care drive digital health companies to show outcomes and improve evidence generation?

Date: April 13, 2021
Time: 11:00AM – 12:00PM PST

By 2026, health systems will need to show a shift from a fee-for-service model to a value-based care model. This will require health systems, payers, and digital health companies to work together to determine what evidence is needed to demonstrate outcomes. Where do health systems and payers even start in tackling this challenge? It’s all in the numbers . . .

In this webinar, we will cover:

• What does value-based care mean and what challenges does it pose to our current healthcare ecosystem?
• What evidence will digital health companies need to generate to convince payers, providers, and health systems in a value-based care setting?
• What types of outcomes do health systems and payers care about measuring?
• What types of studies should digital health companies be conducting?
• What do digital health companies need to do differently to increase their chances of adoption in value-based care settings?

In this webinar, we will cover:

Reimagining Population Health Management

Can Genomics Evolve our Sick Care System into a True Healthcare System

Date: December 15, 2020
Time: 11:30 am – 12:30 pm PST

Imagine if our healthcare system could actually prevent us from becoming patients in the first place.

In today’s healthcare, we use only 10% of the data that predicts health outcomes. Genetic information has the potential to radically improve our predictive power and to help risk-stratify the patients at highest and lowest risk of common chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension.

This webinar will explore how using genetics as a routine part of our healthcare can help us improve population health management—by identifying the highest-risk patients and proactively delivering personalized, preventive interventions to the right patients at the right time.

Key themes

• The channels, tools, and delivery methods that could be used for population health management;
• How genomics can be paid for when applied as a population health management tool in the transition to value-based care; and
• How digital health companies should think about building solutions for population health management.
