The volume to value evolution is convincing post-acute systems to set higher expectations for their medical director engagement and performance. Unfortunately, most of these systems lack the understanding or sophistication on how to set structures for medical director success. Some of these systems rely on a chief medical officer function but impact of CMOs is unknown. In this session, speakers will provide an overview of world's first "CMO Service Line" where experienced physician leaders are working with multiple organizations to implement formal structures for medical director engagement and accountability. Attendees will take away many new strategies and tools on setting frameworks for a successful medical director partnership in a single skilled facility or a larger organization with multiple SNFs.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:
  • Describe a framework for setting medical director performance expectations
  • List approaches to enhance medical director engagement
  • Develop medical director dashboards to enhance medical director role in quality improvement in skilled nursing facilities.
  • Demonstrate the use of an App to set accountability for the medical director role
