Don't Miss Tonight's

After-Hours Webinar!

Tuesday, May 27, 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM ET

Dear AACU Member,

 

We are pleased to announce the next installment in our 2025 AACU After-Hours webinar series, with Ruchika Talwar, MD, MMHC.

Value Transformation for Specialty Care

Tuesday, May 27, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm (ET)

Presenter: Ruchika Talwar, MD, MMHC, Assistant Professor, Department of Urology, Medical Director, Episodes of Care, Population Health, Division of Urologic Oncology

 

Dr. Ruchika Talwar is a urologic oncologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Medical Director in the Episodes of Care Office. Dr. Talwar’s clinical practice includes both robotic and open approaches to urologic cancer surgery, with a focus on patient-centered care. She makes several trips a year to Washington, DC, meeting with Congressional representatives as a passionate advocate for improving the quality of care provided to patients in the US.

Although value-based care has increased in relevance over the past decade, the utility of alternative payments in surgical specialty care, including urology, has been limited. However, as efficiency in healthcare becomes a major priority for the current administration, alternative payments are anticipated to increase rapidly in specialty care.


During this session, Dr. Talwar will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of value-based care models and dive deep into innovative new payment programs that realign incentives to prioritize high-quality, low-cost care. As a urologic oncologist, health policy researcher, and specialty value-based care leader at Vanderbilt Health, her expertise bridges evidence and legislation in this time of rapid healthcare change.


Bring your questions and be part of this important conversation. Participation is FREE, but registration is required!

We look forward to meeting with you!
