Developing Key Performance Indicators for Consumer-Directed Health Care and Pay-For-Performance David Hammer, Vice President - Revenue Cycle Solutions McKesson Provider Technologies, Fort Lauderdale, FL

The movements toward consumerism and the use of sophisticated and meaningful data show no signs of slowing down as more and more people are making active choices in their health care. Consumer-Directed Health Care has the potential to force changes in pricing transparency, discounting / package pricing policies, and point-of-service / self-pay collection practices. Pay For Performance has the potential to force information system changes and/or mandate new investments, as well as compelling staffing increases. Both trends bring the risk of higher costs and lower reimbursement. Providers wishing to thrive in this environment will be those who are prepare and execute the best. During this session, you'll find out how using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure and manage performance will be critical to your organization's success.
