At an Institute for Value-Based Medicine® event held in Park City, Utah, in partnership with Intermountain Health, Miriam Godwin, CMMI, National Kidney Foundation, spoke to the role public policy and value-based care play in regard to kidney health. In this interview, she explores more in depth the key issue that comes with balancing immediate cost concerns with long-term health outcomes.
As value-based care models seek to optimize patient care alongside reducing costs, a primary challenge arises as health care systems try to effectively manage the tension between upfront investment and the anticipation of immediate results or benefits. In part 1 of this interview, Godwin speaks to lingering gaps in patients’ kidney care and the value—and need—to think about how long-term outcomes weigh against upfront investments in value-based care.
