Value in Practice: Preparing for CMMI’s New ASM Model

Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2026, 12:00 pm – 01:00 pm (UTC-05:00 / CST)

CMMI’s new mandatory Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) places specialists who treat heart failure and low back pain under two-sided financial risk and accountability for outcomes, cost, care coordination and interoperability. This webinar will break down the fundamentals of ASM and translate them into practical readiness steps for health systems, physician groups, and clinically integrated networks. Learn how to strengthen coordination between specialty and primary care teams, assess readiness to meet ASM expectations, identify levers to optimize performance and prepare for two-sided risk.

Value in Practice: Scaling Depression Screening at Northwell

Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2026, 12:00 pm-1:00 PM CST

Building on our June 2025 HFMA session, this webinar focuses on the change management mechanics that enabled Northwell to scale depression screening from a specialty pilot to enterprise adoption. We will share a practical, repeatable framework and the tools used to drive uptake across diverse ambulatory practices, executive sponsorship alignment, stakeholder and resistance mapping, targeted communications, role-based training, workflow burden reduction, and measurement-driven reinforcement through dashboards and iterative feedback loops. Attendees will leave with a “pilot-to-enterprise” playbook that can be applied to other ambulatory population health initiatives that require sustained behavior change at scale.
