Turn individual challenges
into collective intelligence.

Health systems that navigate CMS programs alone face steep learning curves, growing financial exposure, and missed opportunity. The consortium changes that equation.

📋

Regulatory Intelligence

Expert interpretation of CMS rule updates, compliance requirements, and emerging policy shifts — before they affect your operations.

Structured to surface peer insights
at every stage of the APM lifecycle.

Consortium activities are designed around your operational calendar and the value-program lifecycle — clinical, operational, and financial leaders at the table together.

01

Monthly & Quarterly Convenings

Clinical, financial, and operational leaders from member health systems come together for structured peer discussion and expert presentations on priority APM program topics.

02

Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Sessions

Topic-specific working sessions by program stage — from pre-launch track selection through reconciliation — designed to surface what's working across diverse market contexts.

03

Coordinated Advocacy & Rulemaking

Consortium members collaborate on CMS comment letter drafting during rulemaking cycles, ensuring health system perspectives on risk adjustment and program design are heard with a unified voice.

04

Cross-Institutional Benchmarking

De-identified performance comparisons across member organizations — varying by scale, geography, and patient complexity — to provide meaningful context for your value-program results.

Built for TEAM — and every mandatory model that follows.

CMS's Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) is a mandatory bundled payment program affecting hundreds of hospitals beginning in 2026. The Consortium facilitates peer discussion across all stages of TEAM implementation.

  • Track Selection & Program Design
  • Partner Alignment & Contracting
  • Care Pathway Redesign
  • Post-Acute Care Optimization
  • Quality Performance Management
  • Financial Reconciliation & Risk
Why Now

The mandatory shift is accelerating. The time to prepare is before reconciliation.

Health systems that treat TEAM as an isolated compliance exercise will underperform peers who engage early, learn collectively, and optimize continuously. The Consortium exists to close that gap.

Sessions are organized for clinical, operational, and financial leaders to share and discuss leading practices — ensuring workflows are integrated across functions to realize optimal episode performance and patient outcomes.
