SPH Analytics Chief Medical Officer to Present at ACOFP Annual Convention

David Hanekom, M.D., F.A.C.P, Chief Medical Officer of SPH Analytics, will be presenting on how quality reporting impacts payment models at the 53rd Annual Convention & Scientific Seminars of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP) taking place April 6-9, 2016, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Hanekom and ACOFP Immediate Past President, Carol Henwood, D.O., FACOFP dist., will present “The Coming Wave of Value-Based Payment and Quality Reporting” on Wednesday, April 6 at 1:00 p.m. The presentation will focus on reporting quality of care as it relates to current medical practice including population health goals and regulatory performance tied to healthcare reimbursement. Additionally, the speakers will discuss the history of healthcare reimbursement as it transitions from fee-for-service to the current outcomes-based reimbursement model and moves toward the new CMS practice transformation concept, MACRA, in the future.

In the past year, SPH Analytics has worked to develop a number of population health analytic solutions that enable hospitals and physicians to measure and analyze performance for success in the outcomes-based healthcare market under the guidelines of the Triple Aim. Additionally, Hanekom is a Board member of the Consortium for Southeastern Hypertension Control (COSEHC).

Hanekom is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and previously a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
