Shelley Davis, MSN, RNC, CCM, is the VP of Clinical Strategy at Lightbeam Health Solutions expert in moving from the traditional fee-for-service model to a value-based care system. Working alongside providers, Lightbeam is identifying opportunities to provide education and better care to underserved communities with less administrative burden. As part of the ACO Reach model, providers must develop annual health equity plans to identify gaps in access for the most at-risk patients.
Shelley explains, "We look at population health management as a way to identify patients, identify members, identify those at the greatest risk to fall through the gaps, those that have the most complex conditions. We offer solutions through patient and provider engagement tools, leveraging technology to be successful in value-based contracts. We are continuing to offer new services as we evolve as a company to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the next generation of value-based contracts."
"What we've done at Lightbeam and certainly other population health vendors are doing or should be doing is leveraging analytics, identifying those opportunities to surface those patients who are experiencing or those most at-risk members. Then developing initiatives around that, identifying those who are facing transportation barriers, those living in a food desert, those most likely to have utility instability. You can partner with a community-based organizations, you can develop organizational initiatives, and you can address educational gaps to make sure that they're getting the care that they deserve."
