Cyft has compiled a list of COVID-19 resources for palliative care providers.

Organizations that use their data to learn and improve are more likely to succeed in value-based contracts. With an initial focus on success in the Primary Care First – Serious Illness Population (PCF-SIP) program, the Performance Collaborative will help teams:

1. Benefit from advanced data science capabilities

2. Learn how to integrate data-driven insights into clinical workflows

3. Share best practices with peer organizations

4. Achieve superior performance in the PCF-SIP model

5. Develop the skills required to negotiate and perform in value-based contracts

Included in the Collaborative

Successful Transitions Predictive Models

Predictive models will deliver Cyft SmartLists designed to maximize performance against the following PCF-SIP quality metrics:

  • Successful transition of patients to responsible providers, minimizing 90-day admissions or ED visits
  • Average length of stay of less than 8 months
  • Per capita cost of care lower than the CMS defined benchmarks
  • Days at home (applicable in program years 2 through 5)

Learning Community – Using Data to Succeed

The Serious Illness Performance Collaborative participants will use data and lessons learned to support efforts to excel in value-based contracts, including:

  • Disseminating best practices and performance improvement strategies
  • Participating in multi-site research projects
  • Accessing experts in various aspects of technology-enabled serious illness care
  • Providing a unified voice by aggregating and presenting evidence to help guide CMS program design
