The Liver Meeting 2019-Developing an APM for Advanced Liver Disease

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Michael Volk discusses the potential of a value-based care model for cirrhosis patients, highlighting the high mortality and financial burden of the disease. He emphasizes the need for improved patient education, timely clinic visits, and outpatient procedures to reduce hospital readmissions. Dr. Volk proposes a Cirrhosis Quality Collaborative (CQC) to track quality measures and interventions, aiming to optimize patient outcomes and reduce costs. The collaborative involves a multidisciplinary cirrhosis medical home approach, focusing on patient-centered care. Measures include HCC screenings, patient-reported outcomes, and addressing substance abuse. While uncertainties remain regarding inclusion criteria and financial models, the collaborative aims to create a sustainable infrastructure for quality improvement in cirrhosis care.
