How Optum Health defines and upholds value in specialty care

Learn how Optum Health built a scalable, evidence‑based approach to value‑based care in specialty care by clearly defining value, aligning referrals to performance, and rewarding meaningful improvement.

Introduction to the series

To date, the majority of value-based care (VBC) efforts have focused on primary care. But there’s been little progress in bringing VBC to specialty care, even though it drives the bulk of healthcare spending.

This research examines how leading organizations overcame long-standing barriers to engage specialists in VBC. These case studies identify practical strategies to define value at the specialty level and align referrals, incentives, and payment.

In this series, you’ll gain actionable insights into how leaders are moving specialty care from the sidelines to the forefront of VBC.
