How to be successful under TEAM
|About the webinar
CMS’ Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) launched in January 2026. Health systems are now navigating how to operate under this model with significant strategic, financial, and clinical implications.
For this webinar, Advisory Board’s Clare Wirth joins Optum consulting's Jeremiah Reuter, underwriting and data expert, Jenn Puzziferro, clinical operations leader, and Erik Johnson, national practice lead of value-based care. The presenters will break down what TEAM requires from organizations this year and beyond — as well as how TEAM fits into a broader enterprise strategy.
Things you'll learn:
- Why TEAM matters strategically: How TEAM ties into your broader enterprise strategy through financial margin management, post-acute optimization, cost structure improvements, and care redesign models (and why hospitals can’t afford to treat TEAM as a stand-alone initiative)
- How TEAM builds on existing infrastructure: Practical guidance on how to utilize existing infrastructure — from bundled payments to ACO and care-redesign models — to meet TEAM’s requirements efficiently and sustainably
- How TEAM can serve as a catalyst for broader transformation: How a TEAM-aligned approach can accelerate system-wide clinical, operational, and financial improvements
