CMS continues to move from HCAHPS ‘pay for participation’ to the Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) model of ‘pay for performance.’ The most consistent factor in HCAHPS success seen by HealthStream Research’s top-performing clients has been proactively preparing for CMS developments before they became requirements. Now is the time for healthcare organizations to prepare for VBP, and this month’s webinar will be presented by CMS advisor and VBP expert, Dr. Thomas Valuk.

In just one hour, participants will gain a deeper understanding of:

• CMS’ Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Principles
• CMS’ VBP Demonstrations and Pilots
• CMS’ VBP Programs
• Value-Driven Health Care
• Horizon Scanning and Opportunities for Participation

Dr. Tomas Valuck is a Medical Officer and Senior Advisor to the Director of the Center for Medicare management (CMM) at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
