4 Steps to Successful Value-Based Payment

Most value-based payment programs have failed to significantly reduce healthcare spending or improve the quality of care for patients. Many have actually resulted in higher healthcare spending, and some have made it harder for patients with complex conditions to receive adequate care.

The solution is not to increase the financial risk for providers in these incentive programs, but to take a fundamentally different approach.
