Register Here! From Surgery to Home: Care Coordination Strategies Under CMS TEAM This is an informational webinar. No CEs available. FREE WEBINAR Objectives  Learn how the CMS TEAM model works and what changes to expect as reimbursement shifts to episode-based care Understand the full patient journey under TEAM, from surgery through the 30-day recovery period across care setting Learn how cost and quality are measured, and what drives financial performance in bundled payment models Identify practical strategies to improve care coordination and transitions, helping reduce complications and support better patient outcomes CMS TEAM Model What is TEAM? The Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) is a mandatory, episode-based alternative payment model (APM) from CMS that shifts reimbursement from fee-for-service to value-based bundled payments for selected surgical procedures. Start date: January 1, 2026 End date: December 31, 2030 (5-year model) Participants: Selected acute care hospitals in designated geographic areas (CBSAs), with mandatory participation for included hospitals Core Concept TEAM holds hospitals financially accountable for the total cost and quality of care across a defined surgical episode, rather than paying separately for each service.  Episode begins: Hospital admission or outpatient procedure Episode ends: 30 days post-discharge Includes: All Medicare Part A and B services related to the episode (inpatient, outpatient, physician, post-acute, etc.)

Register Here! Catastrophic Care Coordination: Managing Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries across Workers' Compensation and Private Concierge Settings 1 hr RN and CCM FEE: Members: $0 Non-Members: $40 Abstract: Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and spinal cord injuries (SCI) are among the most complex and resource-intensive conditions case managers encounter, often requiring lifelong coordination across multiple care settings and disciplines. This session will examine best practices for managing catastrophic injury cases within both Workers’ Compensation and Private Concierge care models, highlighting the distinct goals, challenges, and opportunities of each approach. Drawing on clinical neuroscience and case management expertise, presenters will discuss strategies for acute stabilization, rehabilitation planning, durable medical equipment procurement, home modifications, cognitive and behavioral support, community reintegration, and long-term care planning. Participants will also explore the critical role of communication and collaboration between internal (hospital-based) and external (field) case managers, with a focus on effective transitions of care, information sharing, and overcoming common system barriers. Attendees will leave with practical tools and evidence-informed strategies to enhance care coordination, improve functional outcomes, reduce avoidable readmissions, and support individuals living with catastrophic injuries across diverse care environments. Learning Objectives: Differentiate the roles, goals, and care coordination priorities of case managers working […]
