Webinar Date:  Monday, January 23rd

Time:  12:30 pm Eastern


Over 13 million people in the U.S. have early stage to moderate CKD and don't know it.  These people will progress to dialysis and kidney transplant without proper medical attention. 

 

Another 13 million know it, but still are at risk of disease progression unless their primary care providers are aware of and attentive to chronic care guidelines.  For providers that are part of emerging ACOs, medical home projects, or risk sharing contracts, this is a big challenge, and eventually a costly problem if left unattended.  

 

During this webinar, participants will learn from industry case studies about best practices and methods to detect and effectively manage CKD, and what the financial implication are for managing CKD in progressive, team based models of care.  

Focused Discussion

Attendees will learn:

  • How to accurately determine the scope and impact of CKD in any patient population
  • How to improve coordination of care between PCPs and CKD specialists 
  • What tools exist to support both providers and CKD patients to achieve the "Triple Aim" of 
    • enhancing patient experience,
    • improving population health, and
    • reducing per capita costs of care.
  • Anticipated benefits for plans, payers, ACOs, medical groups, ACOs and other at-risk parties, that  engage CKD patients in guidelines-based approaches early in their disease onset
  • How improved CKD management boosts P4P, PQRI, CMS Star Ratings, and other performance measurements  

 

Who will benefit from this webinar? 

 

Senior executives & administrators from physician groups, emerging Accountable Care Organizations, Health Systems, Patient Centered Medical Homes, health plans, and government agencies.

About Patient Engagement Systems�

 

Patient Engagement Systems� technology enhances patient engagement by fostering communication between patient and caregiver, and by delivering decision support to health-care providers. The PES system has been proven in a National Institute of Health clinical trial to improve health outcomes and reduce costs.

 

The patent-pending PES technology uses automated reminders, alerts, flow sheets and population reports to help health care providers better care for their patients, and patients better manage their chronic conditions. PES has been used by thousands of patients with diabetes in Vermont, New York, California and Texas. Clients include municipalities, private hospital systems, physician organizations, and managed care organizations.
