The growing trend of tying US health care spending to quality measures and value-based payment models is driving rapid change in our health care system and is creating unprecedented challenges for health care organizations. Education and training can play a significant role in determining health care professionals’ understanding of the evolving health care system and proficiency with recent innovations.

Discern Health helps organizations understand and navigate the health care landscape by providing internal education that empowers employees, which can contribute to improved clinical and financial outcomes. Internal education resources can include:

• Fact sheets
• Issue briefs
• Newsletters
• Slide sets
• Presentation delivery/training (in person or via webinar)

For example, Discern recently created an internal webinar series for a life sciences company. The series, which explored the role of the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) in the value-based care environment, informed internal audiences of the broader health system implications of ICER and potential areas of alignment and collaboration.
