While many OTs work in a fee for service model, the reality is that we are undergoing a seismic shift towards value-based care.

In fact it’s estimated that 238.8 million Americans receive healthcare in a value-based care model. These already large numbers are expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

OTs has tremendous potential in value-based care models.

But, the reality is we are missing the boat.

That’s because becoming involved in a value-based care model involves a contracting process that can feel complicated. There has been MUCH written to support doctors and other medical providers in the value-based care process, and they are outpacing us.

But, in today’s episode we break this information down for OTs. Our favorite value-based care expert, Dana Strauss, is going to walk private practice owner Carlin Reaume through: identifying value-based care opportunities locally, crafting a proposal, and ultimately drafting a contract.

Let’s be honest. This feels dense. But, this is exactly what we need to be learning, and we are here to set you up for success!

Dana Prommel Strauss, DPT

Dana took her clinical experience as a doctor of physical therapy and expertise in the health care continuum and transitioned her career to value based care and policy analysis and expertise. She believes the healthcare system can meet everyone’s needs better. Her passion is moving towards the optimal patient experience and outcomes wherever an individual is in the spectrum of wellness, illness or injury, chronic care, or serious illness. She is optimistic about payer/provider synergistic relationships making healthcare better for everyone along the care continuum and is confident that innovative re-imagining of the roles and responsibilities of sites of care, including the home, can lead to higher value and superior quality of care for all. She recognizes there is a common imperative of a culture shift to dismantle the barriers and unlock the possibilities that lead to true care transformation. She uses insights gleaned from close collaboration with data analytics to demonstrate opportunity to providers and sites of care delivery, moving the needle on change.

Dana is a subject matter expert in care transitions, care coordination, all sites of the acute and post-acute care continuum and their payment incentives and structures, case management, and alternative payment models. She has worked directly with hospitals and physician partners successfully implementing BPCI, CJR, BPCI-A, accountable care organizations, and other alternative payment models. She has strong experience in leadership, strategic partnerships, business development, rehabilitation, and mentoring clinicians and budding leaders. Her special interests are palliative care and home-based care, and how they can strengthen new care delivery models and the shift to value.
