What’s now
VBC is growing, not shrinking
There’s a lot happening in healthcare right now. A new administration at the helm creates uncertainty, provider organizations face slim margins, and health plans have high medical expenses. These recent developments in the industry have leaders concerned about the future of risk-based models. But for all the potential setbacks, the root causes that created momentum for VBC in the first place have only been exacerbated. And this plays out in the numbers as the latest data indicates 14% of nationwide provider reimbursement is tied to delegated or capitated risk models, double from what it was just three years prior.1
Though the majority of provider organizations are still driven mostly by fee-for-service, the industry is well on the “path to value.” And it will continue.
The challenge to delivering VBC is execution, not a lack of solutions
The clinical and financial models exist. But actually shifting to and delivering VBC is hard — it requires resources, capital, and alignment. This leaves many stakeholders searching for the metaphorical silver bullet to VBC. There is no easy button.
