Virtual Training – The Maryland Model

Maryland’s approach to hospital quality under its Total Cost of Care (TCOC) Model is distinct from the rest of the country due to its unique regulatory framework and emphasis on value-based care. Unlike the traditional fee-for-service system, Maryland operates under a global budget model, incentivizing hospitals to improve quality while controlling costs. This session explores the key differences in Maryland’s hospital quality focus, highlighting regulatory levers, pay-for-performance initiatives, and statewide priorities in reducing readmissions, complications, and healthcare disparities.
