Pre-Conference Workshop #1:
Topic: IT/ACCESS
Title: Trust, Transparency, and Technology: Evaluating Digital Health Partners in the Medicare App Library
Description: As new digital health solutions and AI-enabled tools enter the health tech ecosystem, ACOs need practical, structured ways to evaluate potential partners before engaging in collaboration. This session will explore evaluation frameworks for assessing digital health companies, including how tools such as the DiMe Seal support trust, transparency, and readiness assessment. Attendees will leave with actionable approaches for evaluating digital health solutions and clearer insight into how structured assessment tools can support confident decision-making within the CMS Medicare App Library and ACCESS Model environment, and how ACCESS participants and Health Care Organizations are collaborating together.
Pre-Conference Workshop #2:
Topic: Quality/eCQM
Title: Quality Reporting at an Inflection Point: Practical Tools and the Path Forward
Description: ACO quality reporting is at an inflection point. This interactive workshop covers background and context for the transition to digital quality reporting in CMS programs, including lessons learned from the shift to eCQMs in MSSP and preparing for the LEAD model. Attendees will hear implementation strategies and receive practical resources from experienced ACOs, then join a forward-looking conversation with ACOs already on the FHIR dQM pathway.
