Webinar

In this webinar hosted by the Aging and Disability Business Institute, speakers will share the findings of a new report, Lifting the Veil: How Networks Form, Operate, Struggle and Succeed. This webinar will describe the experiences of Community Care Hubs and CBO network members on data management, payment and member relation and the diverse ways that networks of community-based organizations (CBOs) are operated and managed and identifies best practices for networks to consider. The report is based on interviews with 23 representatives of eight CBO networks—both Community Care Hubs/Network Lead Entities and CBO network members.

Each year, The John A. Hartford Foundation Business Innovation Award recognizes community-based organizations and networks that are improving health outcomes and quality of life for older adults and/or persons with disabilities through health care contracting. During this webinar, the 2023 recipients of The John A. Hartford Business Innovation Award, Western New York Integrated Care Collaborative, and the runners-up, Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging and Region IV Area Agency on Aging in Michigan, will share information about their award-winning innovative programs. Attendees will learn their strategies for developing their contracts and partnerships, their challenges and the outcomes they achieved.

Join USAging’s Aging and Disability Business Institute for a new webinar series: Data, Billing and Coding: What CBOs Need to Know. Data, Billing and Coding: What CBOs Need to Know Part One: New CMS Rules on Health-Related Social Needs Screening November 13, 2023 3:00-4:00 PM ET The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) new health related social needs (HRSN) screening—at the hospital inpatient level and with physicians—as well as social determinants of health (SDOH) data and technology standards are providing Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), and community-based organizations (CBOs) with opportunities to expand partnerships with health clinicians to better serve clients and caregivers. The first webinar in this series will focus on new CMS reporting measures related to screening for health-related social needs that will impact (and likely increase) referrals for assessments and services from hospitals and health systems to social care organizations. Speakers will discuss what the rules mean for AAAs, CBOs and networks, how they create new opportunities for contracting with health care providers and payers, and what CBOs need to know to work with hospitals and health systems. This webinar series will provide information about the new opportunities to partner with health clinicians, and the related data, information exchange and related billing/payment models being advanced by CMS. Look out for other webinars in our series that will cover topics such as: An in-depth look at the hospital inpatient health-related social needs screening rule Physician referral for CBO assessment and workflows Data standards and information exchange Who your CBO needs to work with on data and interoperability
