Explore opportunities to improve performance within the hospital setting through the transition from traditional fee-for-service reimbursement to a value-based, population-health-focused reimbursement environment.
Rural and Community Hospitals should use this guide to determine how to most effectively staff care management and identify opportunities to improve clinical and financial outcomes.
