The transition from traditional fee-for-service (FFS) payments to valuebased reimbursement models is fundamental to the future of healthcare. Rather than rely on the number of tests or procedures to inform financial reimbursement, value-based care (VBC) models incentivize providers to deliver on three components: improving the patient care experience, improving the health of populations, and reducing per capita cost. By adhering to these incentives, scarce resources can be directed to patients who need care the most, costs can be reduced, and the health of at-risk populations can improve as a whole. In this guide, we’ll discuss structures of value-based care and how practices, both large and small, can support VBC delivery, along with the population health management tools necessary to do so.
