A new volume outlines the best ways to find success as health care entities integrate value-based care arrangements into their operations.
The American Medical Association, the National Association of ACOs (NAACOs) and AHIP, the trade group representing America’s health insurance payers, collaborated to publish“Creating a Sustainable Future for Value-Based Care: A Playbook of Voluntary Best Practices for VBC Payment Arrangements.” The 74-page guide was announced April 10, the day before NAACOs’ two-day spring conference begins.
“In the last decade, value-based care has grown from almost nothing to undeniably significant aspect of our health system,” including accountable care organizations making up 20% of Medicare, said NAACOs President and CEO Clif Gaus, ScD, said in a statement. “This iteration of the playbook synthesizes what we’ve learned over the last decade plus, so that payers, physicians, hospitals, and ACOs can implement payment and delivery models that improve outcomes and lowers costs.”
