The Overcoming Barriers and Improving Care Coordination for Managed Medicaid Health Plans conference specifically shows you how to:

• Improve care quality through effective care coordination
• Coordinate services and resource allocation for maternal and infant healthcare
• Leverage pay for performance (P4P) for primary care to improve quality and enhance engagement
• Integrate medical and behavioral healthcare to achieve optimal patient outcomes
• Enhance medical management and disease management for the highest-cost, highest-need members of your Medicaid population
• Reduce unnecessary consumption of healthcare services, including eliminating avoidable ED visits.
