Learning on the Road to Improvement
Shifting to Value
Health care organizations are required to participate in the CMS Quality
Payment Program (QPP) and will begin receiving payments for these
measures in January 2019. ICSI strives to help the Minnesota health
care community understand the implications of the QPP/MACRA
*
and
the shift to value-based care and payment, including hosting 100 health
care leaders, consumers, and others at an event in September 2016.

19th Annual Colloquium on Health Care Transformation
e 2016 Colloquium focused on "advancing health care value for all," a theme that resonated with attendees, as many indicated
a desire to better understand the needs of their community and were ready to seek opportunities to try some of the successful community
connection strategies they heard about. Two-thirds of our member and sponsor organizations sent at least one person to the conference,
and we welcomed a number of first-timers from both new member organizations and other stakeholders in our work.
The aim of the day, which included Center
for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation
(CMMI) and other national experts, was
to begin asking and addressing MACRA
questions, discover key issues relative
to Minnesota, and learn how others
are preparing. Participants left eager
to spread their new knowledge to their
organizations, with increased urgency
to prepare and take action.
