Understand the Landscape

 The health care landscape is changing; community-based organizations (CBOs) must change with it. Understanding the Landscape provides information on health care industry trends and priorities. If you are looking for information to help you understand how hospitals, health systems and health plans operate, what motivates them and how to speak their language, you are in the right place. Topic areas covered include:
  • Federal and state policy trends (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, etc.).
  • Health care system priorities.
  • Opportunities in Integrated Care (Accountable Care Organizations, patient-centered medical homes, etc.).
  • Health plans and product lines (Medicare Advantage, commercial, duals plans, etc.)
  • Long-term services and supports (LTSS) trends.
