The most expensive blind spot in your CJR-X strategy could be outside your hospital.
Who is making the decisions that shape episode costs—and are your incentives aligned?
On November 18, 2026, CODE Technology Founder and CEO Breanna Cunningham will join leaders from Duke University School of Medicine, Signature Medical Group, and UT Austin’s Dell Medical School for a Becker’s Hospital Review webinar: “Building your CJR-X playbook: Where episode costs hide and how to get ready.”
The discussion will explore where episode-cost visibility breaks down, how hospitals and physicians can align their priorities, and how reliable patient-reported outcome data can support care improvement and CJR-X performance.
Looking Beyond the Hospital’s Walls
Preparing for CJR-X means looking closely at the decisions that influence costs throughout an episode of care—not just those made inside the hospital.
The panel will bring hospital operations, physician group, and value-based care perspectives to that challenge. Together, the speakers will examine how organizations can strengthen care coordination, clarify responsibilities, and align incentives before blind spots affect performance.
The discussion will address three practical questions:
- Where does visibility into episode costs break down, and how can organizations strengthen care coordination?
- Which lessons from earlier bundled payment models still apply—and which assumptions need another look?
- How can hospitals and physicians better align responsibilities, incentives, and gain-sharing arrangements?
Bringing Patient-Reported Outcomes Into the Conversation
Episode costs are one part of the discussion. Understanding the outcomes patients experience is another.
The webinar will also explore how reliable patient-reported outcome data can support both care improvement and CJR-X performance, connecting the financial conversation with outcome measurement.
That focus aligns with CODE Technology’s work helping healthcare organizations collect, manage, report, and benchmark patient-reported outcomes. CODE’s fully managed approach combines technology with a dedicated clinical operations team to handle patient outreach, survey reminders, data validation, and reporting support.
