Thanks to everyone who made it to the Nashville panel discussion, Innovative Strategies for Combating the Opioid Epidemic in the United States.

A special thanks to our Moderator and Panelists:

It was a lively, solution focused discussion in which we covered a range of topics. Here are some key takeaways:

  • Expect a continued move towards value-based care in the behavioral health space. Government and commercial insurers will continue to pivot away from the traditional fee-for-service model.
  • If providers are going to remain viable in the coming years, they will have to have a way to verify outcomes via a third party source.
  • Establishing broad consensus on effective outcomes is one of the more challenging tasks for payers and providers across the behavioral health spectrum.
  • Providers who are tracking outcomes in a multitude of domains will be at an advantage in negotiating value-based care deals as well as better in-network rates.
  • Third party outcome data will promote health equity by offering verified results as it relates to specific demographic groups in the United States
  • Identifying culturally appropriate recovery resources will improve population health at scale.
