About this listen
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The new ACO model increases funding for high-risk Medicare patients but requires disciplined execution.
- Visits — frequent, short, meaningful ones — are the #1 driver of reduced hospitalizations and better outcomes.
- The target is four visits per patient per month for those with a 2.4–2.8 risk score.
- Current numbers show only 2.5 visits per patient per month — leaving savings and outcomes on the table.
- Facilitators are essential: their job is to start conversations, gather information, and initiate telehealth visits.
- Notes, Mobius recordings, and consistent communication make providers more effective over time.
- Small, weekly touchpoints outperform long, infrequent visits in both outcomes and cost savings.
- Every team member plays a role in preventing hospitalizations and improving patient stability.
