Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania recently published a white paper that proposes a roadmap for value-based care over the next decade. On March 12, the co-authors gathered virtually to discuss lessons learned over the last decade and their five key recommendations, which include aligning alternative payment models (APMs) across all publicly financed healthcare and giving health equity a central role in APM development.
Other recommendations of the white paper include dramatically simplifying the current value-based payment landscape and accelerating the movement from upside-only shared savings to risk-bearing, population-based alternative payment models while curtailing the ability of providers to opt out of value-based payment altogether. In addition they recommend that CMS must structure incentives to push providers away from fee-for-service payment.
