Centers Health Care, the largest and most complete post-acute health care continuum in the Northeast that touches one million lives each year with 45 skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, is proud to announce the launch of “Are You TEAM Ready,” an Educational Hub focused on Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) new mandatory Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM). This initiative aims to educate hospitals and health care providers in delivering value-based care by offering insights, resources, and best practices for managing episodic care efficiently. The mandatory bundled payment model for select hospitals is set to begin on January 1, 2026.
Hospitals across the country are taking this year to prepare for TEAM, which will emphasize collaboration across the care continuum, ensuring optimal patient outcomes while reducing costs and unnecessary hospital readmissions. The TEAM Educational Hub is designed to bridge the gap between acute and post-acute care settings by equipping hospital administrators, care managers, and clinicians with the knowledge needed to navigate this transformative model, including partnerships with long-term care providers.
