Value-Based Health Care & Sciences Lecture Series

Description

Value-based health care focuses on improving patient health outcomes while reducing health care costs over time. Value-based care benefits all stakeholders in health care: first and foremost, patients, but also providers, healthcare systems, payors, and society at large. However, achieving value-based health outcomes for patients remain low and stagnating at unacceptable levels and all stakeholders remain frustrated.

This lecture series presented by the Massachusetts General Hospital, Department of Neurology’s Center for Value-Based Health Care and Science will inform how well-established frameworks (implementation science and quality improvement) can address unsolved healthcare problems. Additionally, it will serve as a first step for health care providers to learn about these methods and how they can help improve their practice. As a desired result of this educational activity, providers and teams will be able to design and implement value-based healthcare projects and enhance patient reported outcomes across multiple conditions and care settings.

This course consists of 10 weekly lectures from October 2022 to January 2023. Seminars will feature lectures and interactive activities lead by experts with extensive experience in value-based health care and/or sciences. These leaders in the field will share what they have learned and their own methods for overcoming barriers in traditional health care systems to develop successful health care delivery models. Special emphasis will be places on utilizing these methods to tackle and prevent health inequities.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for healthcare professionals and staff including providers (faculty, residents, fellows, and advanced practice providers), nurses, and research staff with involvement or interest in improving health care systems.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Define important value-based healthcare and/or sciences terminology.
  2. Contrast the differences, similarities, and applications of quality improvement and implementation frameworks in healthcare.
  3. Recognize how each participant’s unique role in their teams can utilize quality improvement methods and techniques.
  4. Extrapolate implementation, change management, and quality improvement methods to participants’ own practices and as it relates to their role in their teams
  5. Construct and organize a value-based healthcare and/or research team
  6. Reflect and study value-based initiatives and use those insights to plan future advancements
  7. Identify how to use value-based health care methods to address health inequalities related to:
    1. Telemedicine
    2. Racial, Ethnic, and Language Minority patient populations
    3. Sexual and Gender Minority patient populations
    4. Clinical Research Trials
