Las Vegas – After years of hype and hope for value-based care, Dr. Chris DeRienzo sees growing momentum.
The chief physician executive of the American Hospital Association, DeRiezno says that he’s optimistic about the prospects of value-based care. Health systems are going to have to find ways to keep people healthier, and ensure hospitals have the capacity to treat those who truly need acute care.
DeRienzo moderated a panel on value-based care at the HLTH Conference in Las Vegas. After the panel, he talked with Chief Healthcare Executive® about value-based care and the need for innovative approaches.
“I’m really excited when I talk to folks who are just entering medicine or nursing or anywhere in the healthcare ecosystem now, because we see these twin engines of a drive to improve and innovation coming together in really meaningful ways,” DeRienzo says.
