Healthcare at the Crossroads: Value-Based Care and Interoperability

October 7, 2021Michael PattwellNo CommentsHIT ConsultantInteroperability

Amid the difficulties of the last year, a bright spot has emerged that may provide a strong indication of renewed movement toward the transformation of the healthcare industry that we know today. Value-based care, a model that rewards better patient health outcomes, has experienced a surge in interest amid heightened consumer awareness and among payers seeking to lower costs and stabilize reimbursement.

The renewed momentum toward value-based care, combined with the mandated implementation of the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Rule, could create a new proving ground to finally break through decades of information-sharing obstacles that have impeded the transition from fee-for-service to fee-for-value models. When I think about the most critical role technology can play in healthcare, I consider its potential to exchange and effectively use electronic health information in a timely and meaningful manner.
