Healthcare prices are on the rise, and in a system already notorious for its lack of affordability, many employers are nervous about what this means for their employees’ health. But instead of taking a wait-and-see approach, some employers have decided to change the way they provide healthcare altogether.
Business Group on Health, a nonprofit organization representing large employers’ perspectives on health and wellness solutions, awarded The Walt Disney Company the Helen Darling Award for Excellence in Health Care Value and Innovation, recognizing the employer’s shift toward value-based care for its 77,000-plus employees in Orlando, Florida. Disney started this transition back in 2018 when it began working with Orlando Health and Florida Hospital to build a high-performing network of providers who are paid based on the health outcomes of their patients.
