By 2014 Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) will be the quarterbacks of bundled payments, and the providers who demonstrate the lowest readmits back to the hospital, highest quality outcomes, and lowest costs will have a competitive advantage. Data-driven outcomes will be a key strategic sales weapon because ACOs will "shop around" for providers with the best results. This CxO-level program will educate providers of post-acute care on core strategy including how to differentiate, accelerate, compete, and win in the ACO-driven healthcare environment of the 21st century.

Learning objectives:

· What is an ACO and how they will change the way providers get paid
· Why specialization and data-driven outcomes are essential for survival
· What outcomes will be strategic
· Ways to promote outcomes to win an ACOs loyalty
· Who will win bonus payments and how you can get a piece of the action
· How to accelerate an EMR strategy to be ready with outcome data ACOs will demand
