Establishing value-based care programs
Prepare your organization for the shift to pay-for-performance by establishing value-based care programs.
Physician–hospital alignment essential to value-based care
Collaboration between physicians and hospitals is essential as hospitals, health systems, and physicians face growing pressure to provide higher quality, more cost-effective care.
Further fueling the need, hospitals continue to face increasing cost pressures worsened by shifts in payer mix and a looming physician shortage. Physicians are simultaneously experiencing declining volumes, ancillary reimbursement cuts, reductions in their professional fees, and increases in the costs of operating their practices.
Whatever shape reform ultimately takes, increased hospital accountability for both costs and outcomes is inevitable. Moreover, uncertainty around the impact of new payment models and the expansion of coverage to those previously uninsured will create additional inducements for physicians to work more closely with their hospital partners.
