In case you missed it... Download today the C&BI Community November webinar event, “Are we measuring the right KPIs and finding the right patients to manage? – A novel approach to improving both.” Improvements in value-based care will hinge on information reflecting a population’s needs and the effectiveness of health care organizations at meeting those needs. Learn from Herb Fillmore, Senior Director for Strategic Innovations in Value Based Care, 3M HIS, as he discusses a composite score of primary care metrics creating the “Value Index score” that emphasizes the measurement of outcomes across a population and promotes lasting systemic change; and a new approach to identifying cohorts who can be helped by care management but may not be identified through typical methods.  See also a new Q&A with the speaker! | #PopHealthIT | #PutData2Work
