This analysis provides an overview of the top trends in the retail banking sector driven by the competition, digital transformation, and innovation led by retail banks exploring novel ways to create and retain value in evolving landscape.
COVID-19 caught banks off guard and shook legacy mindsets to the core. With 20/20 (2020) hindsight, firms are more aware, digitally resilient, and financially stable as they head into 2022. The trials of the past 18 months forced firms to shore up existing business and consider new models and revenue streams.
Customer-centricity remains at the top of most FS agendas and is a 2022 focal point. Banks will focus on achieving operational excellence as diligently as delivering superior CX. In 2022 and beyond, it will be paramount for FIs to explore and invest in new technologies to remain relevant and resilient.
Banking 4.X will arrive in full force in 2022 with platform-supported firms monetizing diverse ecosystem capabilities and aggressively harvesting data to create experiential customer journeys through intelligent and personalized engagements. The new era will compel future-focused banks to finally abandon legacy infrastructure and collaborate with third-party specialists to solidify their best-fit, long-term roles. Increasingly, open platforms will make banks invisible as banking becomes embedded into customer lifestyles. At the same time, banks will shed asset-heavy models and shift to the cloud for greater agility, speed to market, and faster innovation. The shift will act as a precursor to adopting new technologies on the horizon – 5G and Decentralized Finance.
The recent past was filled will extraordinary lessons for financial institutions. Now is the time to act on those learnings and move forward profitably.

Will New Healthcare Policy Impact Value-Based Healthcare?Health Catalyst
The final days of 2016 were fraught with uncertainty about what Congress and the new Trump Administration would do to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the healthcare regulatory landscape overall. So far, in 2017, we do not have much more clarity. Repeal, repeal and replace, repeal and delay, modify without repeal—there are now even more questions than answers and still no consensus Republican plan in sight. Yet healthcare executives would certainly appreciate some modicum of clarity, at least on the narrower topic of whether the shift to value-based healthcare models will continue under whatever new system is coming. This webinar attempts to add clarity by analyzing what we know so far, as reflected in the limited actual evidence that is available.
Join Dan Orenstein, General Counsel, Health Catalyst, as he analyzes these three key pieces of information:

Ben Richardson: How payment innovation can change healthcare Nuffield Trust
Payment innovation is key to unlocking healthcare innovation by aligning payors and providers on quality, experience and cost. There are three major payment models - capitation, episodes of care, and pay for performance. Payment innovation must meet requirements like being implemented at scale and having stable long-term vision to drive cost-reducing innovation. Examples from the US, UK and Germany show payment innovation led to lower costs and better outcomes. The document discusses implementing payment innovation through various levels of the healthcare system and provides an example of Arkansas' Payment Improvement Initiative.

Healthcare Valuations in an Era of Reform and UncertaintyPYA, P.C.
PYA Principal Jim Lloyd's AICPA Health Care Industry Conference presentation explored reform and current environment highlights, healthcare transactions and affiliations, valuation considerations, and regulatory issues.
Many healthcare organizations seem to have been in perpetual pilot stage while experimenting with value-based payment models. Healthcare organizations are focusing their efforts in two primary areas: developing the skills to successfully manage at-risk contracts and, preparing for the considerable business and care delivery transformation necessary for true population health management. But what are the foundational competencies needed to take on risk? Healthcare organizations should consider the following 5 key areas: 1) at-risk contract management, 2) network management, 3) care management, 4) performance monitoring, and 5) improvement prioritization. The value of analytics in each of these competency areas is to prioritize limited resources on the highest impact area.
Sustainable Physician-Led Enterprises: Lessons From the FieldSage Growth Partners
This document discusses the disruption of the healthcare industry driven by payment model redesign under the Affordable Care Act. It notes the migration from volume to value-based payment and growth of accountable care organizations. Physician-led enterprises are well-positioned to lead this transition by focusing on delivering the best care, achieving the best health outcomes, and providing the best value. The evidence presented includes data on the rise of Medicare ACOs, commercial payer participation in ACO contracts, and hospital and physician plans around ACO development.
Principles and Pracitces of Accountable Care TransformationHealth Catalyst
Facing the most sweeping payment transformation in history, healthcare systems are balancing two competing mandates: build the competencies needed to succeed under value-based payment models while remaining financially viable in the current fee-for-service landscape. Across the next decade, changing payment models will drive a fundamental transformation in care delivery, emphasizing dramatically lower costs and improvements in quality. While this final destination is clear, today’s health care leaders face high stakes and a great deal of uncertainty as they architect the path for their organizations' survival and success not only under value-based payment, but—critically—during the transition period.
Join Marie Dunn, Director of Analytics, as she outlines the key near-term priorities for health care organizations transitioning to value-based payment models, with a particular focus on the importance of leveraging data to drive effective decision making. She will also use Health Catalyst solutions to demonstrate these principles.
Marie will cover:
State of the transition from fee-for-service to value-based payment models
Near-term priorities for organizations looking to build the competencies to successfully manage at-risk contracts, including:
At-risk contract management: monitor performance against contractual requirements and leverage data to drive payer negotiations.
Network management: reduce leakage and improve referral patterns and network composition.
Care management: focus care team efforts by leveraging data to identify the patients in greatest need of support.
Performance monitoring: identify opportunities to improve performance on quality measures, like the ACO quality measures.
Strategies for balancing near-term priorities with long-term efforts to drive care transformation across the delivery system
Value-Based Purchasing in healthcare is here to stay. Though the industry has come to terms with this reality, there are still more updates and changes than most of us can keep up with. In a world of accountable care, quality measures, shared savings, and bundled payments, everyone seems to have more questions than answers.
Bobbi Brown, Vice President, Financial Engagements outlines the latest announcements on Value-Based and how to prepare your organization for success in this new reality. Having previously worked in healthcare administration and finance for Kaiser, Sutter, and Intermountain, Bobbi is no stranger to translating complex legislative requirements for complex health systems.
Bobbi discusses the various programs offered by CMS, in particular:
What the programs are
How these programs are measured
What the current incentives are
Results of the programs to date
Organizational changes needed for the shift in programs
This document discusses the transition to value-based reimbursement in healthcare. It provides definitions of value-based payment models, describes results from surveys of provider organizations' adoption of these models, and summarizes recent announcements from CMS and other payers regarding goals to further shift payments to alternative payment models. Challenges in measuring quality, reducing cost and care variability, and preparing provider organizations for value-based contracts are also addressed.
Todd Berner: Assessment of Payer ACOs: Industry's RoleTodd Berner MD
This document summarizes key points about payers' accountable care organizations (ACOs) and the industry's role in partnering with ACOs. It finds that ACOs with commercial contracts tend to be larger and more advanced. They have more experience with pay-for-performance initiatives and other reforms. The document also discusses various strategies for ACOs to better manage costs, such as considering drug acquisition costs, utilization management, and developing care coordination programs. It notes opportunities for specialty pharmaceutical companies to partner with ACOs in areas like managing high-cost conditions and supporting patient care.

The Healthcare Quality Coalition wrote to CMS Administrator Berwick to provide feedback on the proposed Medicare Shared Savings Program and ACO regulations. The coalition supports the goals of improved care coordination and reduced costs through alternative payment models like ACOs. However, the letter outlines several concerns with the proposed rule, including that it requires reporting on too many quality measures in year one, does not adequately account for patient acuity, and may not provide sufficient incentives for high-quality organizations to participate. The coalition urges CMS to address these issues in the final rule.
Achieving Stakeholder Engagement: A Population Health Management ImperativeHealth Catalyst
The document discusses achieving stakeholder engagement in population health management. It states that to improve care in a value-based market, health systems must become competent in PHM but it can be complicated by organizational barriers. It argues that to succeed, health systems need multidisciplinary support across the organization and that earning stakeholder backing relies on real-time, actionable data and analytics to measure effectiveness of improvements.
Implementing the Affordable Care Act: Redesigning and Coordinating Eligibilit...NASHP HealthPolicy
The document discusses the challenges states will face in implementing the Affordable Care Act's requirements for coordinating eligibility and enrollment across Medicaid, CHIP, and health insurance exchanges. It notes that Kansas' current eligibility system is outdated and unable to handle the increased load. Kansas plans to use an HRSA grant to build a new integrated online eligibility system that can determine eligibility for Medicaid, subsidies, and private plans in real time. However, many questions around coordination and operational details between state and federal agencies remain unanswered as deadlines approach.
Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program: Keys to SuccessHealth Catalyst
Avoidable readmissions are a major financial major problem for the healthcare industry, especially for government payers. To tackle this problem, CMS launched the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP). While some hospitals may be able to absorb the financial penalties under HRRP, they still need to track increasingly complex reporting metrics. Most tracking solutions are inadequate for today’s complicated reporting needs. A healthcare enterprise data warehouse and analytics applications, however, are designed to solve the numerous reporting burdens. When used together, they also deliver a robust solution that enables hospitals to track and drive real cost and quality improvement initiatives, all without the need for users to be technical experts.
The document discusses emerging value-based healthcare payment models in the US and provides recommendations for stakeholders. It outlines recent legislation like MACRA that aims to shift Medicare payments from fee-for-service to value-based models. MACRA establishes the MIPS program which combines existing quality programs and the APM program which incentivizes participation in alternative payment models. It also describes various CMS pay-for-performance programs focused on readmissions, hospital value, and hospital-acquired conditions. The document concludes with recommendations for stakeholders to collaborate across the healthcare system to effectively transition to value-based models.
Plan sponsors have benefited from Retiree Drug Subsidies but may not be maximizing their subsidies due to inaccurate cost reporting. An audit reviewing participant eligibility, prescription drug eligibility, and cost reporting calculations can identify reporting errors and additional subsidies of millions of dollars for large plans or significant sums for smaller plans. The case study found $311,679 in additional identified subsidies through such an audit.
Implementation of a Perioperative Surgical Home (PSH)Wellbe
The PSH is a patient-centered, physician-led system of coordinated care that guides patients through the entire surgical experience. From the decision for surgery to 30-90 days post discharge from a medical facility, the PSH model of care is re-engineered to improve patient care and outcomes while decreasing total cost. Learn how your physicians can earn financial incentives from both the PSH and the new CMS requirements for Alternative Payment Models (APMs).
What does SGR Reform and PSH have in common? Dr. Mike Schweitzer, a national leader in PSH, will show you how physicians can leverage a PSH to meet the new APM requirements. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) replaces SGR with a new performance-based payment system and financial incentives for participation in alternative payment models. The law requires that major changes occur by January 1, 2017 – the measurement year for penalties and rewards in 2019. Dr. Schweitzer will describe how to develop a PSH program in your organization. He will share strategies to engage physician leaders to prepare for MACRA or Value Based Payments through PSH.

2017 Top Issues - DOL Fiduciary Rule - January 2017PwC
The document discusses the impact of the Department of Labor's Fiduciary Rule on the insurance industry. The rule requires financial advisors to act as fiduciaries, putting clients' interests ahead of their own. This will significantly impact compensation structures and require changes to training, products offered, and data collection. Insurers will need to streamline compensation, rationalize products, enhance agent training on fiduciary responsibilities, and improve data and technology to demonstrate compliance. The rule is spurring widespread changes beyond just compliance, including potential consolidation in the insurance and distribution sectors.
2017 Top Issues - Changing Business Models - January 2017PwC
This document discusses changes that insurers should incorporate into their enterprise risk management (ERM) approaches. It suggests that stress testing will become more important alongside economic capital measures for evaluating risks. As insurers shift toward assisting customers in risk mitigation rather than only insuring risks, their risk profiles will change and stress testing will be better suited than value-at-risk models for evaluating strategic and operational challenges. It also recommends that model risk management focus more on customer analytics models as they become key to insurers' businesses. Quantifying risk diversification across different types of insurance will also grow in importance.
2017 Top Issues Core Transformation - January 2017PwC

The new revenue recognition rules will significantly change how loyalty programs are accounted for. Under the new rules, companies will need to treat points issued through loyalty programs as a separate performance obligation and defer more revenue over time as points are redeemed. Companies currently using the incremental cost model will see later revenue recognition, and all companies will need to allocate transaction price to loyalty program points using relative standalone selling prices rather than costs. Preparing for these changes may require changes to systems, processes, and policies for many companies.
In spring 2016, PwC investigated the current state and
future direction of stress testing. We surveyed 55 insurers

2. **Exercise**: Regular physical activity is crucial for a dog’s physical and mental health. The amount and type of exercise vary by breed and age, but daily walks, playtime, and interactive activities like fetch or agility training are beneficial.
3. **Grooming**: Regular grooming helps maintain your dog’s coat, skin, and overall hygiene. Brushing, bathing (as needed), nail trimming and dental care (brushing teeth regularly) are essential. Long-haired breeds may require more frequent grooming.
