In the third segment from an extensive video interview with Managed Health Executive, Jaewon Ryu, CEO of Risant Health, discusses the role of prevention and early detection in value-based care. In Ryu’s view, the role is definitional. “Earlier recognition and treatment of disease is what we’re talking about when we talk about value-based care,” says Ryu.
Value-based care shifts the “center of gravity” of healthcare from emergency departments and hospitals. Ryu continues. “We believe that if you can identify things sooner upstream, you can keep things in environments without having them go into those acute settings, institutional settings, and so forth. And when people do need to land there, you want to get them there as quickly as possible and get them well and on their feet and back home as quickly as possible. I think that’s the mindset of value-based care.”
