Care coordination: What’s needed to succeed with accountable care and home health?

Care coordination is becoming increasingly important in U.S. healthcare for a variety of reasons, including the increased use of value-based care models, the behavioral care shortage and a boom in home healthcare.

The pandemic underscored the need for providers to lean into value-based care – physicians are paid according to the quality of care they deliver, as indicated by patient outcomes. As these models become more prevalent, it’s in providers’ best interests to ensure a successful patient transition and recovery, which is where care coordination comes in.
