Primary care physicians (PCPs) practicing in value-based care (VBC) practice models spend more time with patients, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and demonstrate more frequent preventive care, according to Humana’s 11th annual Value-Based Care Report released Wednesday.
“Coordinated care that delivers the right care at the right time must become the standard,” Kate Goodrich, MD, MHS, chief medical officer at Humana, said in a news release. “Our report paints a clear picture: value-based practices deliver better patient experiences and health outcomes. Patients spend more time with their primary care clinician, which means more preventive care and better management of chronic diseases, like diabetes and high blood pressure. Seniors in value-based care models receive the care they deserve with a clinician who holistically understands their care needs.”
