How e-Messaging, Social Media, and Patient Activation Can Transform Your Practice
Communication and collaboration are at the heart of healthcare, and yet we do a terrible job leveraging many communication tools in healthcare that we find useful in our lives outside of healthcare. But incorporating newer collaboration technologies-and even tools like social networking and Twitter into our healthcare systems requires some forethought and planning. Each technology has its attributes, risks, benefits, and role. This session will review how to use them effectively in our practices, which may improve outcomes, enhance efficiency, and improve both patient and staff satisfaction.

This session will review these modifications and the impact they have in today’s physician practices. We will also discuss the administrative requirements to support an ACO contract, how can a plan contract for and administer a bundled payment.
