Needs Statement:

In healthcare, providers face a challenge when it comes to enhancing risk scores for improved patient care within Value-Based Care. This challenge has a direct impact on the quality of care patients receive. It's evident that providers need to gain knowledge about effective risk score enhancement but encounter difficulties in applying these strategies in their daily practice. To address these challenges, this presentation aims to guide providers in utilizing the risk adjustment model, understanding documentation requirements, recognizing the components of risk scores, and reviewing high-yield codes. The goal is to empower providers to deliver more patient-centered care within the Value-Based Care framework while overcoming these obstacles.
