Earlier this month, Premier hosted a panel on value-based care (VBC), with providers from across the healthcare continuum discussing its merits and pitfalls.
In attendance were members of Congress and their staffers to hear how precisely VBC has been effective and policy changes needed to continue its forward progress.
One message came through above all others: VBC has unshackled these providers from the inherent constraints and archaic rules in fee-for-service (FFS) and allowed them to develop innovative models that recenter around the patient.
Alternative payment models (APMs) have also enabled measurable improvements in quality and cost – but providers need legislative help to keep the momentum up.
