Collaborative for Clinical Integration and Value

The Collaborative for Clinical Integration and Value (CCIV) was formerly the Institute for Clinical Quality and Value (ICQV), which officially dissolved in June 30, 2011 and endorsed AMGA as the best venue for healthcare leaders to share ideas, experiences, and best practices in the creation of structures, programs, and initiatives that improve clinical quality and efficiency. AMGA created the Collaborative for Clinical Integration and Value to continue the work of ICQV and designed this immersion session for attendees who wish to gain a better understanding of clinical integration. SSeakers include representatives from Brown & Toland, Weill Cornell, Norton Healthcare, Humana, Vanderbilt Medical Group, and Navigant Healthcare.

Invited speakers include representatives from The Everett Clinic, Medical Clinic of North Texas, Walt Disney, Intel, Mercer, and King County, Washington Government.

Patient Engagement Strategies in the New World of ACOs
Institute for Quality Leadership Semi-Annual Meeting

Enhancing the patient experience will be a key driver for ACO success. In this workshop, participants will be invited to interact with healthcare leaders to explore patient engagement strategies designed for ACOs and how groups are navigating the challenges set forth by CMS and commercial payers. Methods which groups are using to interact with patients, including the use of patient portals and other outreach strategies, will be discussed with opportunities to learn directly from healthcare systems with extensive experiences to share. To round out the day, attendees will have the chance to learn how to “train the trainer” from patient expert Dr. Stephen Beeson of The Studer Group so that they can return to their office and begin coaching and engaging physicians and care teams to create internal processes and systems to address opportunities for improvement.
