Amy O'Brien Spills the Tea on ACOs, CMS's LEAD and What's Next

Grab your favorite mug, because this episode is a must-listen! On HITea With Grace, where we spill the tea on HIT, Grace chats with Amy O'Brien, Senior Vice President of Growth, Post-Acute at Sound Physicians, about the future of value-based care.

Amy starts with the basics of what an ACO does and why caring for high-acuity patients is so challenging. Then the conversation turns to what's coming next:

• How Sound Physicians is preparing for the end of ACO REACH and CMS's new LEAD model, launching in 2027
• What it will take to fix data-sharing between payers, providers and post-acute care
• How workforce shortages and burnout are affecting care for complex patients
• How Medicare Advantage's growth is changing the long-term care landscape

Amy also shares the advice she'd give her younger self, the daily habits that keep her at the top of her leadership game, and words of wisdom for women in healthcare and health IT. And of course, we find out what tea she brought and the story behind her mug!
