We’re excited to announce that Dr. Reza Sanai, PicassoMD’s cofounder and co-CEO, will present alongside Dr. Sherri Onyiego from Equality Health at the upcoming Texas Association of Health Plans (TAHP) conference in Austin, TX, on November 5th. This session will delve into one of the most pressing issues in value-based care (VBC): how to effectively engage specialists to improve outcomes and reduce costs.
Specialists play a crucial role in determining healthcare spending, with significant variation in practice leading to costly and low-value referrals. During our session, we’ll explore how this variation contributes to inefficiencies and poor patient outcomes and examine how the patient experience during the referral process can influence overall care quality.
PicassoMD and Equality Health will also share insights from our partnership, which focuses on enhancing the referral process and engaging specialists through curbside consults. By demonstrating the impact of these consults and strategic referrals, we’ll highlight how these approaches drive performance in value-based contracting and support the transformation of practice workflows.
We look forward to sharing our expertise and discussing innovative strategies for optimizing specialty care in VBC models.
