-Achieved success through the bundled payment programs, including reductions in total cost of care and improvements in quality metrics—patient-reported function, readmissions and the patient experience;

-Addressed challenges in the implementation process, including the need for continuous training, developing a mechanism for staff feedback and defining the roles of nurse navigators and non-nurse navigators in the program; and

-Leveraged its experience in bundled payments with new episodes of care launched in April 2015 and early insight into how these bundles are performing, as well as additional revenue opportunities based on its BPCI experience.
