ECG experts Lucy Zielinski and Dan Marino explore how 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.
