    In a recent announcement, CMS revealed its plans to modernize the prior authorization process within the health care industry. The new rule aims to improve patient and provider access to health information, streamline the overall process, and promote interoperability within the sector.

    The proposed rule will require certain payers to adopt an electronic prior authorization process, reduce the response time for certain payers to handle prior authorization requests, and establish policies that enhance the efficiency and transparency of the prior authorization process.

    Many health systems have multiple, disconnected point solution programs for virtual care delivery, targeting specific conditions and acuity levels in isolation. For example, patients discharged from a Hospital at Home Program, may still have chronic conditions needing management after the acute period through a lower touch program, and vice versa. Or, an oncology patient may have fluctuations in their condition that may warrant different levels of care over the course of their treatment. How do we enable a seamless transition across their journey, and your enterprise while enabling care in the home?

    If your organization is already delivering care at home programs, we want to hear how you’re thinking about connecting the dots across programs, considering topics such as: Opportunities to step a patient up and down in acuity across programs, multiple condition management, EHR and reimbursement considerations. We’ll unpack challenges such as monitoring teams, operational execution, as well as the Clinician and Patient experience. Finally, we’ll tackle the mechanics of making this work at a device and logistics level, when patients may have different needs over time.

    Target Audience:

    • CIOs
    • CMIO/CNIOs
    • Academic Medical Centers
    • Hospital/Acute Care Facility
