Anyone who wants to learn about value-based contracts, the role actuarial science plays, and the data and analysis that supports value-based care.
- Healthcare companies of any size trying to take on risk and start their value-based care journey to improve patient health and cost outcomes
- Healthcare industry vets trying to find efficiency in value-based contracting workflows
- Anyone that’s heard “value-based care” talked about in a panel and just nodded along out of politeness but weren’t sure what they actually meant and now want to learn more.
How much is it?
Free. Now that’s value.
Do I have to be at every session?
No, but our feelings will be hurt if you skip class.
Is there a lot of work?
What you put in is what you get out. But we are not starting from “what is value-based care?” so come prepared having done pre-read homework before Day 1.
